Question 1

How can I find current network difficulty in decimal system is there any formula for it and is there any server which continuously calculate and I can get its value in real time.

Question 2

So basically, if you solo mine you create decentralization, but your chance to get reward is almost nonexistent. When you mine with a pool, you don't validate anything. You just hash blocks produced ...

Question 3

There is a similar post which asks the question about scaling up hash rates with computational power here. My question is similar, however with the added question about a potential bottleneck. I am ...

Question 4

We are in 2020 and I was having a look at this post from 2018 which describes 3 WordPress plug-in we might use to mine Bitcoins through users CPU: Simple Monero miner: needs subscription to https://...

Question 5

I read that the original Cryptonight hashing algorithm was optimized for the L3 cache of a modern CPU, giving CPUs as large of an edge as possible. I've also heard that RandomX effectively turns a ...

Question 6

I'm on an adventure trying to write my own own implementation of a C CryptoNight/R hasher. I already have some working code but wanted something that could help me validate the hashes. Is there any ...

Question 7

I'm trying to understand the basics of mining and have a very specific question about hashing a blob. When I start a miner and capture the packets, I get a job from the pool and then the work ...

Question 8

I'm hoping to find a current reference that explains how the dynamic block size/fee calculation works? This link has a nice explanation, but a community member on reddit suggested it was out-of-date (...

Question 9

I'm implementing my own mining pool and I need to know how the result of a job obtained from a miner is validated. I looked at the snipa22's code but have a small doubt. When sending a job to miner: ...

Question 10

I'm working on building a mining pool from scratch and it'd be really helpful if someone explained the steps to generate a job for miners. Let's say I have 10 miners connected to my pool, what are the ...

Question 11

I'm looking for resources to get me started on coding a mining pool from scratch. I know there are several mining pool implementations and it's reinventing the wheel, but I want to do it so I can ...

Question 12

My understanding is that CryptoNightR randomly creates different calculations for each block, and that RandomX does the same, but using a system where any bytecode can be translated into a calculation....

Question 13

What JSON messages are exchanged with the pool, and how does one connect to a pool? With mining.subscribe? I read somewhere that the stratum protocol that CryptoNote coins use is different to, say, ...

Question 14

I am in the works of making a pool-compatable fully python miner, and I need to know how to generate the blockhashing blob for the miner.

Question 15

I need a Python(2 or 3) Monero miner that outputs hashes to terminal. Please ask me if you need clarification.
