Mining
The Ezil.me mining pool has launched a brand new beta function focused at miners utilizing ASIC miners akin to iPollo or older GPUs with much less video reminiscence onboard that will permit them to make extra revenue when dual-mining Zilliqa (ZIL). These units don’t permit to cache a DAG file for ZIL upfront to keep away from creating a brand new file for each ZIL spherical. So, ASICs and outdated GPUs couldn’t totally take part within the ZIL spherical which is just one.5 minutes lengthy as a result of the creation of a DAG file had been consuming more often than not that they need to usually be mining ZIL throughout this brief window. The brand new beta function is new devoted ports for these miners for dual-mining ETC/ZIL and ETHW/ZIL.
These new server ports permit for extra time earlier than the precise begin of the ZIL mining spherical, so when the mining begins the {hardware} has already generated the DAG for Zilliqa and may begin mining on time throughout the entire mining spherical. Your gear will probably be receiving a selected job that prompts DAG file technology previous to the precise ZIL spherical, so that you gained’t be lacking a second of the spherical resulting from DAG file creation. It appears that evidently preliminary testing exhibits a big revenue enhance for ASICS akin to iPollo miners or GPUs with much less video reminiscence, so in case you have such you may wish to give it a strive. There isn’t any want to make use of these ports on GPUs with massive measurement of video reminiscence that may pre-cache the DAG for Zilliqa simply nice.
