Any chance of a CPU miner being released?
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 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.
i highly doubt that only GPUs are mining this, if an algo can be reasonably mined by shitty old GPUs then FPGAs can do it profitably. maybe a 8gb minimum ram requirement for GPU's can be a good start, ETH crossed the 3gb minimum, BIS is currently at what?
BTW that "unnamed exchange" has an interface that looks like cryptopia LOL
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.
why not use both, size and bandwidth?
the latest fpga's do have high bandwidth. https://www.xilinx.com/products/technology/memory.html
look at cortex requirement memory is "GPU Memory > 10.7G" ...LOL, that's something.
looking at https://www.xilinx.com/products/technology/memory.html#internalMemory max is 8GB for the very high end. that can't mine the coin that needs 10.7G.

I am watching this project since its inception and I didn't saw a more dedicated team and skilled at the same time on any project out there. The commitment is at the highest levels on Bismuth and the recent community implication implementation (community voting implementation) is another feature which makes me appreciate the guys behind this project. Looking more in depth especially on Github you can see the amount of work they put and the skills of the developers.
To make a fully functional blockchain from scratch in Python and implement this amount of features is telling everything about the developers, they simply rock. In comparison I think of Tezos which took 1 year to launch a blockchain with 30+ developers and hundred of millions of dollars. We could talk about Ethereum which struggle for years now to move to POS. And the examples can continue until morning if you wish.
Why I am telling this?
1) Because I love this project and of course is a rare life changing project, is not about if is all about when, because is just a matter of time until it will explode in terms of price, at $0.10 is just ridiculous cheap, buy it and thank me later.
2) Because I want to thank the team and all the people involved in this project and I want to tell you to keep doing what are you doing because you are doing a great job. Hat off!

WoW, your gratitude is really motivational for us.
Thanks for the nice words and your appreciation!

Glad to see pow mining staying with reduced rewards although I will probably never end up with a hypernode at this point. Has anyone upgraded a legacy wallet to the latest hardfork wallet and if so did you encounter any issues?
Wallets themselves do not even need an upgrade.
If you run a local node (not mandatory) then you need to upgrade.

You can always buy the missing coins for your HyperNode
As for the upgrade it went smooth on my side, I upgraded my VPS hypernodes yesterday and they are working well for about 20h.

Outcome of Bismuth’s First Governance Vote - BGV-01 and planned Hard fork at block 1,450,000
https://hypernodes.bismuth.live/?p=989
Bismuth Foundation
Following BVGP-01, Bismuth Hard Fork at Block 1,450,000 is coming soon, in about 21 days.
We will have the release ready in a matter of days, the target is start of next week.
Service and $BIS node operators please be ready to update asap, and in the worst case, before the fork.
Thank you, Bismuth Foundation
BIS looks primed for moon when altsareback
i mine on eggpool with stable 4.5 Gh hashrate
payments began to have wide variation - from 7 to 19 per payment last 2 weeks
previously it was in the area 14-16 per payment
why so ?
I rarely check here, way more active on discord.payments began to have wide variation - from 7 to 19 per payment last 2 weeks

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.
i prefer BCT and TG
and who is the bis-pool.io owner ?
it's biggest pool at now but i dislike that here is no statistic about immature and unpaid amount
