KERYX (KRX) mining

[FP91G]

Why do you need a mining rig name in this case?
All your hashrate will go to the local pool.

Don't forget to pause; this will help you read errors and fix your bat file.
command unknown --worker is most likely a node issue, this solution is not supported in the default settings.

I always use "pause" at the end of .bat file, especiallly when I test something.

Officially, this is a testing PC rig.
Main rig was working on KRX on SuprNova or Baikal pools, but in the last period of time, both pools are delaying to work, or are in maintenance since forks or other KeryX network troubles.

As I don't know any other pool for KRX coin, (except SuprNova and Baikal), I decided to run my own node and put the main rig on it (in the future), instead to wait main pools to get working again, delayed payments, etc.
So, for the moment I moved main rig to other coin, and testing node and functionality with this PC rig.

When network will be stable again and no stops daily or once at 2 days, I will decide if I go back to pools, mine other coin (PRL), or work KRX in own node.

Disadvantage of running local node, is big GB used on storage, from yesterday since my last post until today, C partition grows fron 33GB to 49GB...
I don't know if there's any option to run local node with less storage needed (as some wallets that store last 2GB of data, instead hundreds of GB).


If you know that and 'wanna share it, to try myself, I much appreciate!
Thank you for all answers and help!

I know that wallets don't require downloading all the blockchain data, but running a full node unfortunately requires storing the entire blockchain on your PC or server. This isn't like running a Bitcoin node, which already requires almost 1 terabyte, so 50 GB isn't that much. I think the developers know better.

50GB is ok, but I was scared of about 16GB per day increasing, and I thought, this increase will be daily.  

Now, I run 1.5.5. node, today when I left to work (11 hours ago), keryx-labs folder was around 21GB size and now (after 11 hours) is 40.3GB.

I leave it working untill tomorrow morning to see what's happening, and if it doubles again in size, the only way is it to wait Baikal Mine to open again (even solo mode only), SuprNova have their KeryX Miner Supr (proprietary), wich cause alot and alot of well known troubles to rigs with more than 2 different graphic cards (Nvidia only, like mine) with 8 and 12 and 16GB.

As I saw until now, KERYX project, isn't mature at all, and if they continue once at 2-3 days to fork, or other troubles as until now, I prefear to mine other coin like BC3, or PRL, more stable.
I don't like to leave rig working overnight, and when I woke up in the morning, pool is dead since 6-8 hours ago (lost time, wasted energy).

Mining new coins is always full of surprises, and PRL has had several hard forks in the last month.
My strategy with new coins was to mine with minimal effort, understanding that the coin would die quickly. If a project stands out too much, then it's worth investing more time in it.

Exactly, U're perfectly right!

I quited mining on own node, I will go to suprnova, but in next couple days.
