Generally speaking - yes, as in most coins. Ideally you must have as much CPU threads
as possible on your CPU, and each thread needs 1MB of L3 cache.
Atleast that works best for AMD CPUs.

I've heard for Intel it is better to use 2MB L3 per thread and use lower number of threads.

Here is a link with all the hardware that was benchmarked on this coin's algo:

Given the market and projects we have seen the last year you can't blame the investors. But if they will look away directly just after seeing those words they might be missing out on the hidden gems, like Uplexa. My 2 cents: the real investors are still investigating projects with the word Premine, and if they don't they're not real investors. But IF they look away they will just be hearing from Uplexa in the news, and that's when it might be way too late (for them)

So, mining speed depends on processor speed?

Hi! Open communication (would I dare... "transparency"?) is mandatory in a sphere where so many projects are mostly aimed at making their core Team (and close friends) wealthy... Nowadays, words such as "pre-mine", "ICO" or even "masternodes" can sound appalling to many potential investors. In the case of uPlexa, once you dig deeper, you understand why that pre-mine exists and how it's totally justified and for a good and honest purpose, but given the myriad of projects launching every day, and the "flourishing" (errr) current market, people barely have more than a few seconds to consider for a new project, and then decide to dig or skip.

I consider that announcing "loud and clear" some premine in a project Ann is actually a positive approach, and a first sign of honesty and transparency (we see many crypto projects announcing nothing about premine, and... you find out once you dig deeper =) ), but it can also be important to really highlight those points (x% premine -> what for exactly?)

Investor should read "premine", they eventually start to frown, then they read "x% of this premine goes to y, ..." and they're more prone to dig further.

Just my opinion

We started at a 10k payout threshold. 10k payouts were achievable within a few hours on a mobile phone running a web based browser miner (one of the slowest methods possible). We've since reduced our threshold to 5k.

It came to our attention that we should not lower our payment threshold at this time. The idea behind this, is to incentivize miners to spread their hashes amongst other community pools. Each and every other uplexa pool offers a minimum payout range starting from 10-500 UPX.

We highly recommend pools such as https://fruitypool.com or http://hashing.center. The administrators of these pools are very active members of our community.

Cheers!

PS: tybiboune - well said!

 Hi! That's a constructive comment And actually there are a few things to reply :
- first of all, for NOW the existing mining app is designed to work on PCs (windows or Linux, mostly Ubuntu). I'm not in the core team's deepest thoughts, but I'm assuming this is to incentivise the 'first comers' as they're supposed to become some kind of 'core' to the community.
- concerning the 5000 minimum for payments, that used to be 10000 till very recently, once a again I'm assuming two main reasons first that : firstly the team calculated that given the type of miners coming first to the project, 10000 would be fair not to pull too much out of the pool, and not waste too many transaction fees. But actually the main dev recently acknowledged that given the evolution of the network, his calculation and way of thinking was not that accurate.
- this first pool was the 'official' and has now been joined by a few others, who have a much lower minimum payment. You'll definitely get the best out of your little computer. Check http://www.uplexamining.com/pools/ they have a list of the existing mining pools. The 5000 minimum payment of the official pool will, actually, be a VERY good way to spread the hashing power and get really decentralized.
By the way, this website I just mentioned has been done by one member of the community, and it has many interesting things about the project. Check it out!

And... Welcome to this great project!


 

It s funny that they write "The Cryptonight-UPX algorithm is specifically focused on mining any device's CPU, big or small, for a coin reward" but the main pool has 5000 upx minimum payments. I have a mid range cpu and I am discouraged from using the pool that the developers themselves have created. 5000 min is not for normal cpu.

Because this single pool https://uplexa.poolbux.com/#/home is the official one, the pool which was brought online by Uplexa devs to start up the process. Other pools are slowly coming online sinds then. As the project evolves, more pools will come, and the hashes will be spread out more. Just give it some time.

why one single pool has more then 90% hashrate??

If you follow the Discord's channel, you can see that Lee from IMineBlocks
is also supporting uPlexa. He also made a video  about it. You can see his
review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa6nz0qyA0E

Because an airdrop is supposed to be drawing attention and spread the news of Uplexa, I was wondering: of the 36,750,000 UPX, how many coins have been allocated and/or distributed to participants in the airdrop? Will there be another round in the future? Was there some kind of target set regarding exposure or number of wallets created? Or was it more of a 'let's see how it goes' kind of approach?

It was posted about two weeks ago. You'll have to dig it out
yourself out of the Discord server here
That way you can also monitor the progress and participate in the bounties or even development.

Link?

Gpu miner? Where can we find it, please? Do you have a link?

Though closed source seems a bit fishy... Unless it's an app made by the core team, and they are don't want it to spread too much right now...

Why there is no Gpu Miner config and only CPU?

There is one, but it is closed source, 5% fee and not very efficient.

why are gpu benchmarks here: http://www.uplexamining.com/hw-benchmarks/

is there a gpu mining software for UPX?

there is a remote node for pool posted in discord,

do we have a remote node?

Thanks guys for the info concerning CPU power settings in the miner...

@DevTeam : do you have any approximative release date for the mobile wallet? And... are you going to make it mine too? =)
That would be awesome! Not that smartphone mining could bring anybody millions of UPX, of course, but every little bit makes a difference, and that would be a good start to democratize the project, don't you think?

Concerning Cryptonote-based mining, we already have Tony Monero's Android app, it's working fine, but of course for now it doesn't include uPlexa specific algo... I was thinking, maybe some kind of "joint venture" with the Dev? Or you think you can make your own integrated miner?
