🟢🟡[ANN][ZEN] Horizen: Unbounded By Design
by
nikqz
on 08/09/2020, 04:44:12 UTC


H O r i z e n

Horizen is an inclusive ecosystem where everyone is empowered and rewarded for their contributions. Horizen’s massively scalable platform enables businesses and developers to quickly and affordably create their own public or private blockchains on the largest node network in the industry. Horizen’s Sidechain SDK provides all necessary components for easy and fast deployment of a fully customizable blockchain. Horizen's native cryptocurrency, ZEN, is a mineable PoW coin available on exchanges including Bittrex, Binance, Huobi, and Changelly. Users can securely store and transact ZEN using Horizen's flagship app, Sphere, a multifunctional wallet that interfaces with most Horizen products and services.

Horizen’s History

In 2020, Horizen (formerly known as ZenCash) began as a chainsplit from Zclassic, providing a base of ZEN owners. Everyone who owned Zclassic at block 110,000 received ZEN by simply importing the Zclassic private keys into the new ZEN wallet after the launch, received the equivalent amount of ZEN. Horizen evolved from a privacy coin and into a sidechain-based system by building a technology platform with optional privacy features that aims to enable an application-rich and inclusive ecosystem to provide people with freedom and everyday usability. Once Horizen released their Sidechain Alpha, they shifted focus from being a privacy coin to a massively scalable general-purpose blockchain system. The shift allowed them to open more possibilities architecturally and better fit the direction of their project.



Horizen Wallets





Dev Environment


HDE will be the main focal point for decentralizing contributions and is on the way. It will be focused on enabling collaboration, making contributing to our project fun and adding incentives for quality contributions.

It will be founded on two pillars:

  • The GitHub process will add more structure to the collaboration on GitHub and Zen Improvement Proposals (ZenIPs) are a decision making process and governance mechanism that will be applied to new feature requests and proposed protocol changes.
  • It is an established process in many of the larger blockchain projects.


Network Infrastructure


Secure and Super node operators are incentivized with a share of the block subsidy of each mined block. Currently, both node classes receive 10% of the total block subsidy, respectively.
This incentivized user-owned infrastructure, achieving dynamic equilibrium in node count and returns to node operators, with the geographic placement of the infrastructure optimally dispersed to reduce network latency. Minimum requirements are necessary to ensure that Horizen’s node network is sufficiently capable of running a robust ecosystem of sidechains and the valuable applications that will reside on them.


Sidechains
Horizen is designing Sidechains and a Sidechain SDK to allow developers and enterprises to quickly and affordably spin up their own blockchains. We segregated application logic from the main blockchain for both security and scalability so applications can be fully independent, rapidly deployed, and done so without the consent of other stakeholders in the ecosystem. Single protocol Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP),  a unique protocol that must be used by all sidechains, and it doesn’t require the mainchain to follow the parallel blockchains will allow massive scalability and decentralization to the system. However, sidechains must track the mainchain.

Sidechain Use Cases

  • Tokenization
  • Privacy Preserving Blockchain Applications
  • Smart Contracts
  • Price Stable Assets



ZEN Specification

Horizen’s mainchain is currently a Bitcoin-like blockchain with Equihash Proof-of-Work (PoW) augmented with a delayed block penalty algorithm for additional protection against malicious chain reorganization. ZEN is the native cryptocurrency of Horizen. Its optional privacy feature allows you to control your digital footprint leveraging zero-knowledge cryptography.


  • Algorithm: Equihash
  • Total eventual supply: 21,000,000 (21 million), as per Bitcoin
  • PoW block reward: 12.5 ZEN
  • Current number of coins
  • Division of each PoW block: 10% Secure Nodes reward, 10% Super Nodes, 20% Team's treasury, 60% miners reward.
  • Coins per month: 216000 ZEN's
  • Blocktime: 2.5 minute
  • Reward halving period: every ~4 years, as per Bitcoin

I have an 8x MSI 5700XT Gaming X platform. I have done Memory Toimming in all of them modifying the BIOS, and I get 54Mhs in each of them with memory at 1750.

The problem is when I try to increase the OC speed of the memory, to obtain a greater number of MHS, my Rig crash in random times, sometimes a few hours, sometimes many hours, sometimes a matter of minutes ... there are times that one of the graphics cards is placed at 0Mhs and within a few seconds the PC crashes, Other times PhoenixMiner gives an error with a lot of hexadecimal figures and freezes, and every few hours I have to restart the PC and restart everything.

...
pay attention to the temperature of the memory, if it exceeds 100-105 degrees, then crashes are quite likely, especially if you are still trying to speed it up beyond 1750, the probability of failure increases with increasing heating

PhoenixMiner
Hi
example, here’s the situation ... the video card crashes and the watch dog restarts the miner, a new instance of the program resets the core voltage of this video card in default. After resetting, the video card receives high voltage, it overheats and as a result, such a sad effect as on the screen
https://d.radikal.ru/d13/2006/bc/f84c5fe55d5ct.jpg
Is it possible to add a parameter that will not allow resetting the voltage of the video card to default after activating the watch dog and starting a new instance of the program?
now i just have to turn off the -wdog 0

hi
How to make sure that when reaching for example 62 degrees, the mining intensity decreases so as not to exceed the temperature threshold. What commands to put in a batch file. Driver version 19.7.5 mining 5.0b (my current settings, but on them the temperature continues to rise and above 62 degrees without reducing the intensity of mining -tt 61 -tstop 67 -tstart 50 -tmax 62 -fcm (0 or 2) -fanmin 50)
  There is no such feature (reducing mining intensity to keep the temperature in check). You should use -tmax, which lowers the GPU core clocks when it reaches the target temperature. If it doesn't work, try a newer driver version (e.g. 2.4.2) and if still doesn't work, let us know what cards you are using.
Hi, about my question, tested on drivers from 18.6.1 to 18.9.3 on them the reduction in the core frequency works, on drivers above this version it does NOT work, on the latest version 20.5.1 it does not work either. Now in the summer the -tmax parameter is very relevant, please look and if possible implement it on drivers above 18.9.3
I use most of the video cards PowerColor Red Dragon/Devil RX580, but there are others 580 series (Sapphire, Gigabyte) they also do not perceive this parameter, program Phoenix 5.0e, Windows 10 LTSB/LTSC


I have 18 GPU mining for 20 months and some fans are not doing well, about 3 cards.

While my spare fans are coming from China, I would like to keep these cards mining and set a target temperature to lower their mining intensity like this command I used to use on Claymore:

"-ttli   reduce entire mining intensity (for all coins) automatically if GPU temperature is above specified value. For example, "-ttli 80" reduces mining intensity if GPU temperature is above 80C"


I get temperatures above 70C 6 hours a day when sun is heating however the other 18 hours I can mine at full speed.

I'm using -tmax but it's not working
I read the whole README and couldn't find any similar automatic control.

All cards are Asus RX 580 4GB
Windows 10
PhoenixMiner_5.0e
Driver Version 20.4.2
+1
it would be nice if the same function -ttli were implemented in phoenix
a decrease in mining intensity than the frequency of the video core (it is enough to automatically change the -gt parameter from optimal to less efficient, which will entail a reduction in power consumption)

try set only -tt parameter excluding any another (include fan control parameters), in some cases it is resolved similar issues
 
hi,
the -tt parameter only affects the fans and it works well with its own, but when the rotation of the fans reaches 99%, i need to keep the temperature still, for example, at 62 degrees, the -tmax parameter should be used, but it does not work on drivers above 18.9.3
with one parameter -tt i won’t get what it takes to keep the temperature at the selected limit

screen how it works on 18.9.3
https://d.radikal.ru/d29/2006/db/9c0672732bc6.png

 hmm, very hot farm! I think that you need additional fan's to cool this hot-dog -)
 what you thinking about set --tt 65 ? RX580 can good live within this temperature
it’s hot now, about 40 degrees on the balcony, the farm airflow is very powerful, it’s just hot outside now
I can choose 65, but I would like the -max parameter to work and it would be possible to do farm configuration more flexibly

Hello now I tried it on drivers 18.6.1 and auto-reduction of the core frequency works, but it doesn’t work on version 19.7.5, can this be possibly fixed? I would not like to install new versions of drivers (above 19.7.5) on them a hashrate slightly lower
I have a red dragon card Powercolor RX580

In the 4.5b version of the program, the hashrate is lower than in the 4.2c
I have the same hashrate, which is on 4.2c, which is on 4.5b, but on drivers version 18.6.1
On version 19.7.1, the speed is 20-30 hashes lower

I am struggling with mining and using applications that has hardware acceleration on the same computer, i have a 1080 ti card, and whenever i use phoenixminer and watching youtube, its very laggy, discord is laggy and tradingview.com is very laggy

is there a way or a parameter to set on phoenixminer so that it uses the lowest priority so other applications can get the full hw speed they require ?

maybe so
  -gpow Lower the GPU usage to n% of maximum (default: 100). If you already use -mi 0 (or other low value) use -li instead
  -li Another way to lower the GPU usage. Bigger n values mean less GPU utilization; the default is 0.

The first beta of the 4.1 is ready. You can download PhoenixMiner 4.1a from here:

  • Added faster "turbo" kernels (-clkernel 3) for AMD 470/480/570/580 GPUs. These are usually faster than normal kernels (-clkernel 1 or -clkernel 2) but require double the amount of VRAM. This means that you can only use them on 8 GB cards if mining ETH or ETC. You can use them on cards with 4 GB or less VRAM only if you are mining low DAG epoch coins.
  • Added a -rvram option to set the minimal reserved VRAM that can't be used for mining. The default values are 384 MB on Windows, and 128 MB on Linux. You can also set -rvram -1 if you want to turn off the protection against using too much VRAM.
It should be noted that in this mode -clkernel 3, with the default setting -rvram video cards consume more power on average 2-4% and there will be more virtual memory loading, so maybe someone will need to increase it

Hello
Who knows why with all the cards that exist in rig such a periodic decrease in the hashrate lasts for about two minutes
All RX580 cards  (Windows OS 10) are an example on the screen of one card, the config settings are lower, but they have no effect, checked
https://ibb.co/foYAQL -pool stratum+tcp://etc.hvpps.net:3333 -wal ***.name -pass x -proto 4 -coin etc -amd -mi 14 -gt 20 -retrydelay 10 -fret 10 -gsi 10 -gswin 30 -ftimeout 180 -ptimeout 10 -stales 1 -eres 5 -clf 2 -gser 0 -dbg 0 -log 0
You -gt setting is wrong. Let the autotune make -gt setting. you can lower -mi too. get little les hasrate but miner mines better.
These parameters do not affect hashrate reduction, I tried to remove and change them, the effect is the same
This decrease always occurs after the miner’s launch at least once on all video cards, but at different times
