It's a monero block!

I ❤️ Hybrid

We mined our first Monero block yesterday! We’re so proud!

Well done

Here she is:

So cute! She weighed in a little light with a target difficulty of 2 and a height of 89446, but the block and mother chain are healthy and doing great.

So now you can go ahead and earn testnet Tari and testnet Monero if you so desire.

To start merge mining with Monero, you need to set up XMRig. There are some instructions on how to do this in the Tari repo. They could use a little love, so once you’re up and running, why not contribute a PR and improve them a little bit? Your fellow community members will love you for it, just as we all love little Blocky446.
