PAI Weekly Updates :computer:

PAI Coin Pool

A new version of PAI Miner is available now! This new version 1.0.0.25 introduces a status indicator allowing you to easily monitor the connectivity status of your app. The three states you may see are as follows:

  • Connected (Green Light): Indicates that PAI Miner is running and is connected to PAI Coin Pool.
  • Not Connected (Yellow Light): Indicates that PAI Miner is running, but cannot connect to PAI Coin Pool. In this case, you should check your internet connection.
  • Off (Red Light): Indicates that PAI Miner is not running. In this state, you can click “Start” at any time to begin mining.

PAI Hybrid Consensus

Here’s a snapshot :camera: of some of the commits / PRs and progress we made last week:

  • Ongoing updates to CPU miner for supporting SHA-3 and switching between hash functions based on the block template received from the stratum server.
  • Last week, we finished designing and specifying necessary updates to PAIchain.info for Hybrid compatibility. Check out last week’s newsletter for a preview of the new design. This week, we continue work on implementing the updates.

Proof of Useful Work

We’ve written extensive and thorough documentation for the Proof of Useful Work GitHub repository. The PAI developers encourage everyone to check out the fully functional, interactive codebase, and to submit any feedback.
