Just a bit of backstory: I'm a massive UPX fanboy. I see this coin going big. And I mean BIG big. I've been with the project since October of 2018 - original airdrop HODLer.

I have just one question: Any way we can get a 32-bit ARM image of XMRig-UPX? I have a Raspberry Pi 4B which currently to my knowledge does not have a 64-bit OS, so I'm sorta stuck with it sitting idle. It would definitely fit in with the whole "IoT" concept, it being a tiny little SBC.

I'm curious how the new Broadcom BCM2711 in it will hash - 4 A72 cores at 1.5 GHz. For anyone living under a rock, this is a massive improvement over the 3B+ - in some applications, 3x performance uplifts.

I am a total Linux newb, so if anyone has a remote clue how I could compile this for my rPi, please let me know! 

30x5khs=150khs. Now you only have to calculate how much power they draw.
And if the phones are free, then you are really lucky. Please post pictures
when your UPX farm is installed. I bet it will be an interesting sight to behold!

Quote: "I could be mistaken but i speculate that the high difficulty could work against the miners."

That sentence is not what someone who knows how crypto works would say. More miners coming in, increases the difficulty. That's how PoW works. Its miners going against other miners. It's a feature of the system. If more miners come in, hashrate and thus the difficulty will increase and you will earn less coins than before, unless you add additional hardware.

Now, how much this algo has equalized GPUs and Phones/IoT, you'd have to compare the hashrates of before and after and see what kind of increase each device got and work out the difference.

On a GPU i got an 8x increase for example. If you got more than that on your Phone, then there you go, you're more competitive than before.

Yes, I think you're saying something reasonable. That's how I imagine it. The one issue I have is, in the years it takes to accomplish the IoT network, the GPU miners (myself included) will have built up some big bags of UPX. So what's the problem? Well, if the project punishes GPU miners a bit, then those GPU miners will have to move onto other coins. Most likely they will start dumping their UPX, and because of the large bags they have, it will keep UPX price down for years with all the selling pressure. Maybe investors come in to buy up the coin, but in terms of strengthening the network, it's going to be hard to go from GPU hashpower down to IoT/phone  hashpower. I only mention this because I've seen a number of CPU coins that get stomped once the GPU miners come in.

Now wouldn't it be cool if we could get 100Mh/s on android.

And yeah, fruityminer hasn't released the update yet. Maybe if they don't our discussion about GPU will be over.

This project has a good lay out plan and roadmap, but I will like to find out the current progress and state of this project. are the set plans on the roadmap for the first year of the launch of the project achieved ?

You can check a list of user submitted benchmarks on this page https://www.uplexamining.com/hw-benchmarks/
You hv to determined whether it is profitable for you. happy mining 

We still don't know the details iisbetoq. There is only a a news, saying "utility masternodes" are coming.
A certain amount of UPX will be needed to run such masternode, that is for sure.
My personal "guess" is somewhere around 1-2 million UPX.
Or it might be some other, more clever method for staking (Tiered, timed, etc.).


I agree with RyanDokter and I think more important now is the practical use of the uPlexa coin tech.
There are many coins which... just exist.
For no apparent reason, hoping that someone will make use of their tech, just like that.
So partnerships are very important, because they ensure real-world use and this equals growth.

Maybe they can implement some kind of "lighting network" transactions, or some kind of "off-chain transaction" like Pivx or clones does? Though it does it through Masternodes, so I guess we're kinda stuck with them here
Masternodes the uPlexa way will be different, anyway... Because first of all, everyone will be able to accumulate the collateral by regular PoW mining, and then.. I'm not sure the Masternodes phase will mean extinction of the PoW phase. Maybe both could co-exist? Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? After all, PoW mining and Masternodes/staking have different purposes in the network.

Question to uPlexa dev: will PoW continue along with Masternodes?

Hi guys! This is all very exciting.
I've heard a couple of people talking about possibly looking at masternodes in the future.

Is this something that's being considered by the core team?
