Node Updates
Regular updates to our nodes are essential to maintain security, improve efficiency, and incorporate the latest improvements from each cryptocurrency’s development team. These updates help ensure that our mining operations run smoothly and that our miners enjoy the best possible performance and reliability.
Zcash ZEC 5.9.1
This version of Zcash introduces significant security and usability enhancements. The addition of the z_converttex RPC method allows users to convert transparent p2pkh addresses to the ZIP 320 (TEX) format, streamlining transactions and enhancing privacy. Additionally, this update improves network security protocols by automatically disconnecting from peers that send malformed version messages and rejecting duplicate verack messages. These changes are part of ongoing efforts to enhance the robustness of the Zcash network against potential network-level attacks.
FIRO v0.14.13.3
The latest Firo release marks a critical step forward in wallet technology and transaction handling. With enhanced support for light wallets, this update facilitates better mobile interactions by allowing light wallet servers to effectively query the node for Spark state. This means that transactions are recognized more quickly, and balances are more accurately reported, improving the overall user experience. Additionally, the increase in the maximum transaction relay size from 100 kB to 250 kB is a response to community needs for higher transaction throughput, particularly for UTXO consolidation and Spark minting operations.
KAS Rusty Kaspa v0.14.1
The transition to Rusty Kaspa represents a major evolution in the Kaspa network’s infrastructure, aiming for improved performance and scalability. This release marks the first stable version of the Rust-based node, significantly enhancing transaction processing speed and network stability. The shift from Go to Rust also means that node maintainers will benefit from reduced disk usage due to efficient pruning of headers and transactions, faster sync times thanks to optimized data processing, and a more robust RPC software stack for enhanced interaction with the network.
Zephyr v1.2.0
Zephyr’s latest update introduces tools designed to streamline development workflows, such as the new west grep command. This feature allows developers to use git grep, ripgrep, or standard grep to search through their repositories in the west workspace, enhancing code management and bug tracking capabilities. Additionally, the update improves the manifest file format by including a description field, increasing the utility and readability of project metadata.
Monero Delisting
As of June 10th, we have officially delisted Monero (XMR) from the 2Miners pool.
For miners interested in leveraging their CPUs for profitable mining, we recommend transitioning to Zephyr (ZEPH), which utilizes the same RandomX algorithm as Monero.
- POOL: zeph.2miners.com
- SOLO: solo-zeph.2miners.com
