I checked the week #15 report and saw this part of the report, that lists the stores accept BEAM (see the quote) and there are 3 merchants accept BEAM: BEAM Pay, Coinpayments; and Nowpayments. It is good to see more BEAM acceptance but it sucks to know the team have to cancel their schedule or not make new schedule for offline events due to the pandemic.

Stay safe, Beam community members.

BUILD YOUR OWN BEAM POOL

please note;
The Beam open source pool comes with no warranty and it is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure the functions and design of their own deployment, meet the required standards which a crypto-miner would expect to see in a mining pool. Where the code is complete in-as-much as the pool stratum, API and a barebones deployment of the GUI is functional and working, it is also the responsibility of the user to ensure that you have adept knowledge in pool systems.

The pool software is offered without a coin distribution function and this part is the sole responsibility of the user to add to the existing code. This part is deliberately omitted from the code to allow the user to determine which method payout they wish to utilise (PROP, PPS, PPLNS etc etc). By installing the pool software in this guide, you fully agree to these terms, and assure your prospective miners that you are able to create your own Beam distribution method.

Global Connectivity with new dedicated Beam Nodes

No-matter where you are in the world today, you should always expect full remote connectivity to the Beam network, to enable fast and effortless Beam transactions. This is why I have been working flat out to ensure that all reaches are covered.
For a quick guide on setting up your wallet to connect to one of my remote nodes, please navigate to
https://www.raskul.com/beam-nodes/

Here's the list for quick perusal

COUNTRY   NODE IP   NODE PORT

I also created a short video, explaining why remote nodes are important , how to set up your own Bean node on a VPS and how to get your Beam wallet connected.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow2pXgoS_w0&t=

My call to everyone is this: if anyone reaches a region in the world where you are finding difficulty in getting the Beam wallet to sustain a remote connection, please email me raskul@beam.mw and I will endeavour to ensure there is full coverage.

Thank you

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your patience! A new version miniZ v1.5t3 is out! 

* 125,4 (ZEL): major improvements for various GPUs. Up to ~11% (1660 Ti) and ~8% (RTX 2070).
* 150,5,3 (BEAM): major improvements up to ~3-4% for GTX 1660 Ti, RTX 2070. Minor for other GPUs.
* Better pool connection handling.
* Added --ocX option for automatic tunning of the best kernel for your GPU and OC settings. (125,4 and 150,5,3 only)
* Added macros to log file name:  @algo@, @date@, @version@, @user@, and @host@.
   Write for ex. --logfile @algo@@date@@version@.log in the command line.
* Improved stability.

Download miniZ v1.5t3 here.

Few notes:
  * When adjusting your GPUs OC settings check if your GPU supports oc1/oc2 (FAQ ). It may boost your performance a little.
     --oc1/oc2 changed for some GPUs, for 125,4 (ZEL) and 150,5,3 (BEAM) in the new version.
     In this new release we added an option for automatic tunning of the best kernel for your GPU: --ocX option. At the moment for ZEL and Beam only.
     For updated and more detailed information read the specific topic on FAQ page.

  * On Download page you can find Cuda 10 and Cuda 8 versions (Linux and Windows).
     For Turing architectures (16xx series and RTX) you need to use Cuda 10.0 versions.
    * We are considering to drop Cuda 8 support in future versions. *

For additional information check our Usage or FAQ pages.
Let us know how it goes!

Happy mining!
