Quick Summary: Sharing updates on the incentivized testnet2 and snarkOS (our general operating system)

Notes:

Key Points:

• The mining pool is being beta tested
  • decentralization error has been fixed
• the CUDA implementation for the prover should now be working
• calling the #1 slot to the AFW miner as the winner
• Fabiano will be reaching out to people via DM with instructions on how to set up the mining pool
• we are going to have our community call tomorrow to go over what is in store for the new year

General Notes:

Questions:

• Why is CUDA mining slow?
  • It’s not a game breaking update (of 4-5x), there are some optimizations that still need to be made
• When will GPU mining be available?
  • We do not have an exact date, we are still beta testing
  • don’t have a UI
  • Imagine that we will have it out by next week
• How would the command look to support CUDA?
  • Unsure how that will look, haven’t tested it fully yet
• Is there any way to register your address with the team?
  • we do not have a formalized process
  • as long as there is a way to collect the addresses, then we can require the individual to register with us
  • the operator will have to register to Aleo all the users in the pool
• Has anyone satisifeid all the points for the mining pool(3 slots for mining pools for who wants to register)?
  • Nobody as satisfied these points yet
