That miner is a stratum miner that only works on pools, and was not really used until the pools were running. The wallet does have the same algorithm, and they are both about the same speed, but using the wallet is solo mining. That means that without a lot of hash power, your rewards may be far between each other, sometimes much more, sometimes much less. Halving is every month for example, and my main machine has a luck time of over 1 month right now. With a pool, all miners share the rewards of each block according to their hash power contribution. That way, if you don't have enough hash power to be sure to get a block every day, you can use a pool to get more often smaller rewards, rather than the less often full block reward of solo mining.
Of course, there's always staking as well. One thing that's nice about pools is that they also handle shielding/unshielding for you, so by the time you get your payout, it starts to stake immediately after just 150 blocks. No need to have a shielding/unshielding script or do it manually.
Just about same, I thought too.
Already also supported for the test one pool. The rewards are small, but permanent, and you can stop mining any time.
This is CPU mining on the fastest CPU crypto hash in the world by far. The fastest miners listed in the hashrate channel on Discord are over 1 GH/s CPUs. There is already a GPU project, optimized on algo, but not quite finished as a miner, and it gets under 130 MH/s on a 1080 ti. Risers drop that to a little over 20 MH/s. My nephew's Asus notebook gets 160 MH/s.
This is exactly, what I expect most of all. GPU miner with norm hashrate.
