Around 1 minute.
The mint link will show up once the tx went through and the mint has been signed by the bridge.

Thanks,

And sorry for the late answer - I only see your message now, I'm not there a lot.

dApps can use either the PoW or PoS chain, it's an app design choice.
As of today, free tx are on PoS side only.

I think the next episode - released since - did answer the spam question

Practical examples will hopefully make all that more clear.

Second episode was released

Likely a misunderstanding.
That was not "proof of concept" like "proof of work" "proof of anything fancy so I can pump"

Just saying that what I announced - free transactions for dApps - is something that works already, and not just a proof of concept.

Not sure what part you're refering to precisely.

If this is about the feeless transactions, the series will go on with more insight and explanations.

It's not purely PoS.

There is a PoW - mining - part, as well as a part of rewards from Hypernodes.

Hypernodes are not just staking, they provide service to the network.
So you have to run a Hypernode with some collateral (10k, 20k or 30k) to get weekly rewards.

Having BIS in your wallet is nice, but does not produce rewards on its own.

Before our heavy3 algo, we had an FPGA mining op taking most of the rewards for a while.
The heavy3 algo was tailored to address that, and so far I have no hint that bis is mined by FPGA.
It's not only a question of total ram, but also of random reads and ram bandwidth.
GPU has better ram bandwidth than what fpga can do. And mining bis would require high end fpgas anyway, with ram. Becomes more common, but still.
With heavy3, simulations show that high end fpga can mine bis, but with no real leverage over GPUs, because of ram bandwidth..

If you have some insight info, or hints that bis is mined by fpga, please tell me more. If we have doubts, that will be addressed.
Btw, we are not against fpgas by principle. We are against hash power centralization, and one mining op, or one small class of miner taking all.

And here is a new exchange for Bismuth

https://hypernodes.bismuth.live/?p=1016

CPU mining is not an obstacle, but is not profitable at all.
BIS is a GPU coin, with specific algo to heavily penalize fpgas and asics from common algorithms.

There are discussions about a potential use of mining channels to have both GPU and CPU mining going on, but nothing practical as for now.

I personally believe that GPU is still the better path to hash power decentralization.

Wallets themselves do not even need an upgrade.

If you run a local node (not mandatory) then you need to upgrade.

I rarely check here, way more active on discord.
Could have a look with your miner address.
Can be the day/night oscillation: see the difficulty graph, atm it's spread over 106

https://hypernodes.bismuth.live/plots/mainnet/diff.php

and that gives very different blocks count for first 12h and latest 12h.
See on eggpool home, it's also visible - both for egg blocks found, and network blocks found (not a pool issue)

This behaviour depends on the net hash and adjustment algo.
If hashrate is stable, diff converges. There, it keeps oscillating.
Miners mining only at low diff do feed that behaviour.

m2chainz announced he will match the prize.
So, that's another BIS 150 to be rained if the tweet above gets 100 RTs

Help #Bismuth, help yourself:

If this tweet: https://twitter.com/EggPoolNet/status/1168464920054292487
gets 100 RTs by tomorrow (13H UTC) then the team will make 150 $BIS or more rain on the discord.

More than 100 RTs? More BIS!

It's a no (B)rainer, go and RT to the world!

Spread the word and get wet!

Oh,

The pool is is fact 3 pools, to ensure more resilience and mine on the most recent block quicker.

The "lastfound" page queries the official API and prints the latest 10 blocks from each of the 3 current eggpools.
Some pools are very little used because not often ahead (mainly because of geolocalisation), why you can have old blocks on this screen.

So, it's pretty different from "30 last blocks from all eggpools". I understand the confusion. Tweaked the title to make it more visible.

A new Dragginator cup is running, you have a few days left to hatch your draggons and register!

More than $1000 BIS in prizes!

If you use nvidias (more power efficient than AMDs) and you target efficiency (hash/watt) rather than raw hash, then you can run cool.
drop PL to the minimum you can, underclock memory by like 1000, and overclock core.
You'll run cooler and eat less power.

eggpool miner shows an efficiency metric you can optimize.

Not all pool owners do dump, that I'm 100% sure of.

If your HN is fine and up to the latest block, no need to update.
The update only address workaround for this specific issue where you can get stuck.
If you're past the block, you're fine.
