Tari Base Node v0.8.10, Test Mining Pool

Tari Base Node v0.8.10 Released

Tari Base Node v0.8.10 has been released. This is a minor release with some fixes to bugs and possible vulnerabilities.

Test merge mining pool

A test mining pool has been released at https://testpool.tari.com/ for testing merge mining with XMR. To connect to it, use the following settings in xmrig:

 "pools": [
        {
            "url": "testpool.tari.com:5555",
            "user": "<YOUR_TARI_ADDRESS>:<YOUR_STAGE_NET_MONERO_ADDRESS>",
            "pass": "<IDENTIFIER>:<EMAILADDRESS>",
            ...
        }
    ],

Choose an identifier and email address. It’s still in pre-alpha stage, so email delivery is not guaranteed.

For the testnet Tari, you can get the address from the Public Key field on the Receive tab of the tari_console_wallet or by long pressing on Copy Emoji ID on the My Profile page of the Tari Aurora mobile apps. In this example, I’ll use 1E1CD11B750CD94BDD40916368E1F31119821B8F1B3FE132778B267676C8A955

You’ll need a stagenet Monero wallet address, or you can use the following address: 5AVbkiuchCWiMdF15PzVjsaTtDf8BmG9LQKDEJAdokjuYZJCdJUsoTvDGHMAXcKMhYYvTvQ5y29ozWitA8NECHRsFazgqqz

For example:

 "pools": [
        {
            "url": "testpool.tari.com:5555",
            "user": "1E1CD11B750CD94BDD40916368E1F31119821B8F1B3FE132778B267676C8A955:5AVbkiuchCWiMdF15PzVjsaTtDf8BmG9LQKDEJAdokjuYZJCdJUsoTvDGHMAXcKMhYYvTvQ5y29ozWitA8NECHRsFazgqqz",
            "pass": "testminer:[email protected]",
            ...
        }
    ],
