CRITICAL UPDATE: Mandatory Hard-Fork

NeptuneCash Miner v2.2.0: PPLNS & SOLO Mining Support

Mandatory Upgrade Required: Hard-Fork Notice

A small but critical algorithmical change has been implemented in the Neptune Cash Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm. This change constitutes a hard-fork.

  • What this means for you: Beginning at block height 15000, new blocks will be generated using the updated algorithm.
  • Action Required: You MUST use this latest version of the miner (v2.2.0 or higher). Older versions of the mining software will consider new blocks invalid and will stop earning rewards.
  • Key Result: This upgrade ensures the long-term security and stability of the network. All miners must update to remain on the correct chain.

Overview

We're excited to announce the release of NeptuneCash Miner v2.2.0, now compatible with the new hard-fork and featuring dual mining mode support! This high-performance GPU miner offers both PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares) and SOLO mining methods, giving miners maximum flexibility.

What's New in v2.2.0

1. Hard-Fork Compatibility

  • Mandatory update to mine on the correct chain post-fork.
  • Updated PoW algorithm for enhanced network security.

2. Dual Mining Modes

  • PPLNS Mode: Traditional pool mining with the Pay Per Last N Shares payout system.
  • SOLO Mode: Independent mining for those who prefer going alone.

Quick Start Commands

NVIDIA GPUs

# PPLNS Mining (Recommended for consistent earnings)
./npt-miner --mod_PPLNS --wallet_address nolgam...

# SOLO Mining (For experienced miners)
./npt-miner --mod_SOLO --wallet_address nolgam...

AMD & Chinese GPUs

# PPLNS Mining (Recommended for consistent earnings)
./npt-miner-amd --mod_PPLNS --wallet_address nolgam...

# SOLO Mining (For experienced miners)
./npt-miner-amd --mod_SOLO --wallet_address nolgam...

Replace nolgam... with your actual Neptune Cash wallet address to receive rewards from the pool.
