Thanks for this info I feel silly for not noticing that in the instructions. I used c=TOPAZ as the password and it appeared to work as I took part in two Topaz blocks for a small reward but then without changing anything BOAT tokens started appearing for my wallet. Am I able to use my Topaz private key to access BOAT tokens since they are the same algo? Are these being merge mined?
Zpool is a multipool, so you are just switching between the two coins. Using c=TOPAZ means you will be paid in said coin, all BOAT will be autoconverted to Topaz. While not helping the network fully you are keeping Topaz off the market since Zpool sells all unclaimed coins.
