Hello all,
I discovered yesterday that the mandatory upgrade was taking place and upgraded my wallet and also my masternode. Everything went smoothly.
Just a couple of quick questions:
1. What is gonna happen to PODC now? Is it (going to be) deprecated, or continuing as before? Is there some kind of prognosis about the profitability PODC vs. BBB/XMR RandomX?
2. My wallet now shows the following versionreport:
{
"Version": "Popularity,Percent %",
"1487": "188; 91.70%",
"1507": "17; 8.29%"
}
What does that mean for the masternode payments, if currently not even 10% of masternodes are on the right chain?
3. I tried the NOMP pool for RandomX and it works just fine for me (except that my Win10 machine has its RAM too crowded to provide huge pages *lol*). The pool pays matured blocks right away, that means it doesn't collect any balances up to a payout level, right? Is the payout method the same for BBP and XMR? (not that I'm expecting much of a payout anyway with my 2 CPUs
)
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
God bless you all in these troublesome times.
Hi Dave,

-> We don't have plans to retire PODC at all, impho I really like it too. It makes half of our mining "green" and the other half "heat" roughly. We have a breakdown of 30% for GSC, 20% governance, 25% sanc and 25% heat. If RX is a success I could see us lowering POOM (which is 40% of the GSC budget) and moving that to RX, and having RX pay for the POOM expenses. Then later, if its ever more of a success we regroup and consider moving some of the percentages from PODC to RX - but only if we see our price rising due to the success of RX, etc. We have to go with what makes us successful. But for now, we have plenty of room for improvements in other areas.

-> The versionreport actually reports the last 205 blocks, and since we have had a slow chain for 24 hours, its not up to date yet. Please run it in 12 more hours.
But I can say this, we must have had a successful upgrade because after the cutover height everyone before 1507 is kicked off.

-> The payment you got was probably from the legacy pool; rx.biblepay.org still pays out after the block has matured, so we have another 105 blocks to go then you should see a payment from that pool. I did change the address to a new wallet so it should show a distinct trail (as we started from scratch with RX).
God bless you too.
Let me know if I forgot to answer something.
