Been a couple days since the first tnf injections. Feel like vomiting all morning. I have a script written but the jaw is locking and I do not think I can record for lunch break. Going to nap instead and see if I recover. Here is the script.
"We have lelantus spark development updates from Firo. For the uninitiated, Lelantus Spark is a new privacy protocol for Firo allowing private storage of your Firo.
Starting off, there's been significant progress on the lockwallet issue. A solution has been proposed, though it's still in the works, so we'll be keeping a close eye on that. On the brighter side, the Sparkspend Fee Subtraction problem? Sorted and sealed with a commit. However, there's a curious case of some Spark transactions; they're not being mined or even appearing in the mempool. That's under active investigation.
Now, for those interested in the backend intricacies: the team's been hard at work stress-testing the Spark minting and spending processes. It’s all about ensuring smooth and efficient operations. There’s also this mempool bug we stumbled upon – where an lTag is showing up both in the mempool and sparkstate. We're diving deep into that. And if you've heard whispers about issues with Block Assembly and InstantSend not playing nice, you heard right. The team's on it. Also, a quick heads-up, the Wallet Refactor is in full swing, and code reviews are happening in the background to keep everything in check.
On other fronts, the Spark lockwallet challenge remains a top priority, especially the scenario where a locked wallet might not verify blocks. Sounds technical, right? But it's essential. And, speaking of what’s coming up, there's some buzz about preparing Spark for a client-api integration. Stay tuned for that!
Some quick tidbits to round things up: The Lelantus Manual-Anonymize Page in Spark is no more, given that Lelantus minting is off the table. Oh, and that pesky French QT typo? Fixed. Plus, we’ve spiced up the clarity in the RPC help text for both mintspark and spendspark. Lastly, for those who noticed the UI quirks, the team's working to iron out that column resizing issue in the user interface.
Today, we have some fresh news about a significant development in the Cardano ecosystem.
Last week marked the official launch of anetaBTC on the Cardano mainnet. As a leading protocol specializing in wrapping Bitcoin, they've brought in an impressive over 11 BTC into the Cardano world.
Now, why is this significant, you might ask? By establishing themselves as the primary Bitcoin marketplace on Cardano, anetaBTC is laying the groundwork for what might become a dominant Bitcoin liquidity source for years ahead.
Here's the exciting part. AnetaBTC has rolled out a minting incentive for cBTC. Let's dive into the specifics of this incentive:
Just to give you a clearer picture: if someone minted, say, 1.5 BTC during the early phase and then 2 BTC later on, they could be looking at an accumulation of over 270,000 cNETA. And with current conversions, that's around 7,300 ADA or approximately $2,000. Sounds lucrative, doesn't it?
That's not all! AnetaBTC is pushing for cBTC/ADA farming on Minswap. By supporting their proposal, liquidity providers might soon reap additional rewards on Minswap. So, if you're invested in the space, it might be worth keeping an eye on that.
The essence of these incentives? To integrate Bitcoin into Cardano and amplify its involvement in Cardano's DeFi. Essentially, cultivating a liquid Bitcoin market within the Cardano network.
As anetaBTC gears up to bring more Bitcoin into the Cardano ecosystem, they extend their heartfelt gratitude to their community members. And from our end, we'll be closely monitoring this space, and we promise to bring you the latest updates!
So, what are your thoughts on cBTC and the new initiatives by anetaBTC? Share in the comments below!
The latest version of SRBMiner-MULTI, version 2.3.4, is out! Let’s delve into the juicy details, shall we?
First up, we have the addition of the 'ethashb3' algorithm. If you're mining the RETHEREUM coin, especially using NVIDIA GPUs, this is your update.
Dual mining fans, there's something for you too! The update has introduced support for dual mining ETHASHB3 paired with SHA512_256D_RADIANT. And guess what? This is optimized for both NVIDIA and the AMD RDNA series of GPUs.
Vega VII users, rejoice! SRBMiner has now incorporated the gfx906 binaries for the 'dynex' algorithm, especially on the latest drivers. Just to note, this has been tested specifically on driver version 22.40.6.
And for those who faced issues with gfx900 mining on the 'dynex' algorithm due to the previous release...well, that hiccup has been ironed out!
In relation to this release sumitomo from Dynex made an announcement on Discord that all previous versions of srbminer will no longer be supported. So if you are wondering what went wrong with your rig mining dynex make sure you update to the latest version of srbminer. "
