Weekly Tech Report
This is a summary of the work done by the Enecuum development team during the week of September 29–October 6
⚡️Database storage. We optimize data stored by PoW/PoS nodes to make more PoW nodes possible during public tests in BIT (dates to be announced) and to reduce the costs of PoS nodes to run. Next, we will check the multithreaded PoW miner and let you use it for some time in BIT before the public tests.
⚡️RandomX troubleshooting. There are users that experience troubles running PoS/PoW on certain processors (usually old ones). The cause is in the RandomX configuration supplied in Docker images. For example hardware support for AES in CPU is certainly favorable. We do not search for exact requirements for RandomX in our Docker images, as it is a very complex task. You may refer to RandomX devs if you want to dig into it. Instead, we provide a guide on how to build RandomX from a source on your exact computer. This method worked flawlessly for a couple of PoS owners. It may not cover your exact CPU, so you can update the guide via GitHub pull request if you have additional tricks to make RandomX work. Anyway the newer a CPU the less power it consumes in general, so an upgrade may be a good way too.
⚡️User Farms. BIT wallet is updated with drop farms (create, stake, unstake, harvest) methods. It does not render well on certain screen resolutions, we are fixing it.
