[ANN] [XMR Merged Mining] Pokio: Democratic POW mining

[PokioChain]

Introducing Pokio - A New Experimental Crypto Project

Pokio is a personal and experimental crypto project exploring new ideas in blockchain technology. Unlike most projects, Pokio is being developed entirely from scratch in Rust, with no reused code from existing cryptocurrencies.

What Makes Pokio Unique?
- Custom Blockchain: A brand-new blockchain built from the ground up, inspired by concepts from Tron but developed independently.
- Innovative Mining: Pokio will be minable, but not in the conventional way (read the whitepaper for details).
- End-to-End Development: The project includes everything:
  - The full blockchain node/server implementation
  - A new miner
  - Compatibility with Metamask as the default wallet

Roadmap
- March 1st – First mining tests begin
- April 1st – Launch of the testnet and initial binaries
- June 2nd – Mainnet release

Looking for Contributors
This project is in early stages, and I’m looking for enthusiastic individuals who are genuinely interested in blockchain innovation, testing, and contributing ideas. If you’re here just to make a quick profit, get it listed on exchanges in three months, or follow the usual hype cycle—this isn’t for you.

If you love experimenting, pushing boundaries, and helping shape something new, I’d love to have you on board!

🚀 How to Mine XMR+XTM+POKIO

❓ How to Configure My Wallet?
You can follow this guide to get started:
https://pokio.xyz/start.html

📊 Public Stats Dashboard:
https://explorer.pokio.xyz/tari

🛠️ Compatible Miners:
Any miner that supports RandomX, such as:
xmrig
xmr-stak
SRBMiner

🎯 Pools to Mine On:

pokio.xyz:3333
xmr.pokio.xyz:4444

💻 Example Mining Commands (with xmrig):

Code:

xmrig -o pokio.xyz:3333 -u YOUR_POKIO_WALLET

Code:

xmrig -o xmr.pokio.xyz:4444 -u YOUR_POKIO_WALLET

ℹ️ FAQ:
I don’t see stats in my wallet. Why?
Please wait ~1 hour for your balance to be confirmed by the pool.

Which pool am I mining to?
You’re mining to a private, modified pool as part of the experiment.

How are XTM and XMR handled?
XTM and XMR are received as tokens on the Pokio network.
You can later send them to their respective native networks if you wish.

What are the token contract addresses?
Tari (XTM): 0xF0fB826a582BE07496489d2E64715C8f7b07Eb6A
Monero(XMR): 0x5D908fad313C0EB79f58F647726e1A817f018965

⚠️ Note:
This setup is experimental. While it should work reliably, bugs or unexpected behavior may occur. Use at your own discretion!

POKIO -> XMR/XTM Bridge
https://explorer.pokio.xyz/tari/bridge.html

[PokioChain]

I've modified XMRig (based on version 6.22) to support dual mining: now you can mine Pokio simultaneously while mining Monero, without affecting your regular XMR pool performance!

With this version, hashes are submitted to a Pokio pool in parallel, no need to switch pools or interrupt your Monero mining. Just keep mining XMR as usual and earn Pokio on the side.

⚠️ Note: This is an experimental feature and will continue to be improved over time. Feedback and testing are highly appreciated!

🔧 Download & Details 
👉 Pokio-XMRig v1.1.0 Release

🖥️ Example usage:

Code:

xmrig -o YOUR_XMR_POOL:PORT -u YOUR_XMR_WALLET --pokio YOUR_POKIO_WALLET

Happy mining!
