It would be nice to get some details on the x16rt miner so we have time to test it before launch on Saturday. Especially considering this is a new algo and may require tweaks to our clock speeds and voltages. When do you expect to release this info?
At the current rate I think the devs may be releasing the mining software close to or on launch date. A dev told me that he expects the source code to be ready tomorrow Wednesday or Thursday for sharing with mining pools so that we can reach out and try to get X16RT supported on more pools.
For a fair start, there should be miners available for the main OS's and both AMD and Nvidia.
If conditions for a fair start can not be met, it's preferable to postpone
I was told today that Nvidia is being worked on and will probably be available at launch, but they aren't sure about AMD. I agree with you about the desirability of being available on the main operating systems Linux and Windows and both AMD and Nvidia, and will forward the team your suggestion.
It will take some time, the idea will fill its niche around the world. This project decided to settle in the modern unexplored market. We can count on growth in the near future.
everyone is trying hard to attain something in this bearish market and hoping that someday everything goes back to golden days of crypto. i hope this project has been in continuous development...
This project has been in continuous development since late August, 2018. The cryptocurrency/blockchain industry is still very young and it is only a matter of time before the bear market ends
.
Several pools will be available initially, though these are not all official (i.e. run by Veil). You can find info on hosts through this thread or on Discord about other pools.
What pools will those be? I've gone through the Discord and it's never said. Someone even asked what other pools besides supernova and it was not answered. I've heard through the rumor mill that supernova was promised to be the only pool at launch. If that's the case, be upfront and let everyone know you support a centralized network, otherwise release the code so other pools can join in at launch..
There are two other pools we're involved in setting up that we'll give info on soon (via Discord and social media). Otherwise additional pools will be community-run. I can't give a number on these though at this point, but some hosts of these have initiated contact through Discord if you want to chase them up.
in Discord someone stated that mining with AMD cards will not be possible in the beginning. is this statement true? Main Net launch will start with only nvidia GPUs ?
From what I was told today from dev working on this, AMD may not be done in time for launch. Just to be on the safe side I am trying to get confirmation that Nvidia will be there at launch. I agree with you guys that it would definitely be desirable to have both major GPU brands supported at the start and will convey that to the team.
The three official mining pools will be Suprnova, a mining pool hosted by an acquaintance by Veil advisor Marsmensch, and another mining pool hosted by an acquaintance of a Veil developer. When the devs let us know what the other two pools are called I will share the information here.
I am also waiting on source code required for mining pools to integrated X16RT to become available, which may happen Wednesday or Thursday, and then I will be reaching out to various mining pools and try to coordinate integration.
If anyone would like to see our current list of mining pools to contact and/or add to the list please see here:
