Can the g1 mini mine other currencies?
bro you mine tari?? Your name looks familiar
I did the airdrop (premine) very briefly just before launch with my home rigs, ~1 month, but I’m running mostly 4090s (4090 is like 2x 3090s for SHA3x) and had scaled up 5950x CPU builds in preparation of Tari’s launch (years prematurely tho). Couldn’t use my facility rigs without bandwidth upgrade since each instance of the Tari Universe app is like downloading an infinite 4k lossless video off Kaleidescape. I’ve since upgraded all sites to faster service + unlimited bandwidth but now the Tari block rewards are a trickle. Supposedly Tari is going to adopt Grin’s (Tromp’s) cuckaroo-29 algo since 56% of block rewards are going to two central players. There’s a way to escape TU but with the devs planning algo change(s) to support decentralization and fair mining, seems prudent to stay with TU for now: Tari Mining Pool (SHA3X) - LuckyPool.IO
If the c29 algorithm is used, can the g1mini mine?
G1-mini = c31 & c32
Perhaps c29 is possible with a firmware update, but if that happened anytime soon I’d expect Tari devs to counter with another algo to support GPU miners.
Where did you see discussion about that?
I found some on Tari telegram which linked to this tweet
I think it should be possible, but it requires a firmware update to implement it
They credit you at 47m in, “Was a golden age for mining, really intelligent people were creating amazing PoW things, like when Tromp invented Cuckoo Cycle…” https://x.com/tari/status/1922335684175569313
Adoption of c29 planned to support GPU miners:
what is tari?G1 mini can mine tari?
Not possible at the moment. The algorithm is different.
Tari is another rather interesting blockchain project that implements mimblewimble.
Amongst other they have very good documentation about mimblewimble. In some cases actually a lot better since some information to understand grin is missing in our documentation.
For example, in the grin documentation it is nowhere mentioned that your wallet scans the blockhain via the bulletproofs (range proofs), which contained a XOR’ed value of the output and the index of your wallet key that is used to make the commitment. So only through the information stored in the rangeproof does your wallet know which UTXO belongs to your wallet, what its value is and which key should be used to make a spending commitment.
Also interesting to check is for example their MultiSig implementation using Shamir Secret Sharing, which again is information stored in a multi party bulletproof:
