The Ezil.me mining pool has launched a brand new beta characteristic focused at miners utilizing ASIC miners comparable to iPollo or older GPUs with much less video reminiscence onboard that may 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 previous GPUs couldn’t totally take part within the ZIL spherical which is only 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 quick window. The brand new beta characteristic 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 might begin mining on time throughout the entire mining spherical. Your gear can be receiving a selected job that prompts DAG file era previous to the precise ZIL spherical, so that you received’t be lacking a second of the spherical as a result of DAG file creation. Plainly preliminary testing exhibits a big revenue enhance for ASICS comparable to iPollo miners or GPUs with much less video reminiscence, so you probably have such you would possibly need to give it a strive. There isn’t a want to make use of these ports on GPUs with massive dimension of video reminiscence that may pre-cache the DAG for Zilliqa simply high quality.
