Looking for CPU miners and pool operators for a new RandomX PoW networkHey everyone,
I am looking for feedback from people who are actually into
CPU mining,
RandomX mining, and running mining pools.
Over the last weeks we have been working on a new Proof-of-Work network called
Block Zero (BLOZ).
The reason I am posting here is not to make a classic coin announcement, but because the project is specifically built around
CPU mining and I would really like input from miners and pool operators.
Mining-related details:- Algorithm: RandomX
- Mining type: CPU mining
- Codebase: modern Bitcoin Core code adapted with RandomX Proof-of-Work
- Block time: 10 minutes
- Max supply: 21 million BLOZ
- Issuance: Proof-of-Work
- Halvings: Bitcoin-style scheduled halvings
- Launch: fair launch
- Premine: none
- Presale: none
RandomX was chosen because it is
CPU-first and helps reduce the advantage of specialized ASIC hardware, making mining more accessible to regular users again.
What I am mainly looking for:- CPU miners willing to test mining
- Feedback on hashrate and performance
- Pool operators interested in adding support
- Suggestions for improving miner onboarding
- Feedback from people who mined early Proof-of-Work projects before
The idea behind the project is also a bit nostalgic.
Many of us missed the early Bitcoin era, when mining was still something normal users could participate in with ordinary hardware.
BLOZ is an attempt to recreate part of that experience with a CPU-first Proof-of-Work network.
Not as a Bitcoin replacement.More as a mining-focused experiment for people who like early-stage PoW discovery.

I would appreciate honest feedback from miners here:
- What CPUs would you test?
- What pool software would you recommend?
- What would make onboarding easier?
- Are there still miners interested in early RandomX projects?
