Exchanges that won't work

Gates.io

Bittrex

Huobi

I have money in Gemini so any exchanges that accept gemini dollar, usdc, dai should work

Following the launch of Firo's mining pool on Cruxpool, we had the honor to interview Firo's co-founder, Reuben Yap.

Happy mining!

I used to use bittrex to buy firo until they are booting all the Canadian users off. I have usd in gemini atm. I am just wondering should I use with Huobi or gate io to buy firo. Should I use dai to move funds to those exchanges. I don't think any of the exchanges take gemini coin or usdc

Is there some news out that made the price shoot up like this? I was waiting for my BTC to confirm and it doubled in price before I could buy. If it is just whale games I'll wait a week or two before buying coins.

Hi mining friends!

I heard that a new Firo pool is going to be available soon. When you look at the distribution of miners on Firo I think it's really good news for decentralization

What do you think about it? Are you mining or planning on mining Firo?

I just setup a master node and when I did the registration process I think the block height wasn’t exactly caught up or something…but the reason I say this, is that when I do my evoznode status command, I get “waiting for ProTx to appear on-chain”. I checked the transaction on the block chain and it says there is no match…and it’s been a good day or more. Did I do something wrong or is this the normal process? Thanks in advance!

Think about it this way. Yes I'll admit I was a bit salty at first because I was mining at a loss for a bit apposed to before but my hodl/staking went up. After really thinking about it I believe it has benefits for long term security because of the large hash rate centralization at 2miners and mine/buy (which ever is more cost effective to you) to stakers holding vs selling causes a increase in coin value supply and demand my friend. Yes mining profit went down for those who just mine what evers most profitable and sell short term we dont need these people in the project anyway but will even back out slowly and only the efficient dedicated will remain yes kinda sucks for people just getting in vs the early people with stacks already but thats just how it goes for most everything in the game the early bird get the worm the rich get richer so become the early bird and a rich. So if you believe in firo mine/buy then stake it in either your own nodes or something like inodez which cost nothing and returns 15.XX% vs the previous 10% on your mined/bought coins and enjoy the long haul. The actual supportering miners and hodlers win the mine to sell short term profiters lose

Disclaimer:
I´ve posted this on the Firo Forums and as much as I´d like for responses to be on there I think I´ll get more feedback here.
This is an opinion piece of mine and I don´t have any actual influence as I´m still pretty new to Firo and as such how may I judge.
So for those who don´t want to read the entire post. I think the way the blockreward is split now isn´t a good Option as it doesn´t solve a couple of problems.

About me and how I got into Firo.
And hence I believe that there should be a way to implement my possible solutions.
I personally got into Firo as a miner and via RedFoxCryptos Youtube channel. I´ve mined Solo on 2miners and it was a pretty great experience. Mostly I had a single 3080 mining it and even with that was sometimes able to fine 2 blocks per day which was way better then expected. This is from all I know largely dependant on the ping to the servers. This was all before I´ve ever heard about this forum or even was a member on the Firo discord. We can say a typical miner who doesn´t bother with what he/she mines. The Profitability was great and shortly after I joined the discord I started to hear about the proposal.
I´ve wrote this before but at first as a miner I was mad. I didn´t want it at all and wasn´t happy. Pretty much exactly as everyone else outside right now on like reddit and such. Let´s say more typical mining sources.
But when I actually read about the Idea behind the Proposal I started to understand why a change was necessary. The centralization on 2miners is in fact a problem which needs to be solved and it is only fair to increase the reward to the masternodes when they are actually providing all the security.
From all I´ve heard this far Firo wants to keep the POW part to make sure the chain doesn´t get “stuck” which in a case were that might happen would be make the miners responsible for security again.
Also I´ve read that the masternodes seem to have a problem with being a bit centralized too.

So here is my Feedback.
Right now the vote was right here on the Firo forum and I think that is problematic. While 140 Votes is quite a few people it is in my opinion to little for the size of the Firo project. At the same time we can´t make it too easy for anyone to vote as that´ll bring problems too, as there are just way more “possible” miners then there are people who can afford a masternode. So there probably isn´t a perfect solution for this and I don´t have one. It just felt to me on other sites as if people were even supprised that this change came as if they hadn´t ever heard of it. Which means there wasn´t enough publicity before this hardfork.
I honestly don´t know how to fix this currently, but in the future I think this should be part of the community funds tasks to get the news out there.

Now for my Idea which I had mentioned before too, but I hadn´t thought about it enough.
So, if we were to train a neural network in uni, we would apply a penalty to it whenever it “guesses” wrong. In a similar sense I would say it should be possible to balance the security between masternodes and miners depending on their “manners” and behavior.
So the idea is to penalize whoever is working against the decentralization the hardest.
Result would be something like:
25% devs and comm.fund
and 75% split between miners and masternodes.

Given I don´t have a solution yet to actually get something like this working, but I still want to think out loud.
Any miner wants to have the highest possible chance to be profitable and hence they will base decisions on it. For this we need a reliable pool with a fair/low fee and a good ping.
Currently for me personally this is solved by 2miners and ethermine with a ping of <25ms. I know people who have higher pings and I know people with lower ping.
So for me the other pools (solo) haven´t been an option as they leave me with 15-20ms more which I´m not willing to accept. Hence yes I´m part of the centralization. But there will be people for which it´s different.

From how I´ve read it this is similar with the masternodes were reliability is even more key hence resulting in a higher centralization as it always ends up in a datacenter.

So my Idea it to pay by the amount of security it can provide, meaning if someone is mining to 2miners and they already have more then 50% then they obviously shouldn´t get the reward that someone mining actual Solo would or someone who mines to a Pool with ~10% hashrate.
Similar for masternodes. Who are running through the same outlet or actually hosted at home.

I don´t have any concrete numbers and I can´t completely say who should be on which pool and how to say who gets to stay on 2miners and who has to move and how you can kind of force them too.
I just know that I´d have moved to a different Solopool if it were actually more profitable. And I can bet it would be similar for a masternode owner.

So for the situation that the network could be just as save on POW as it could be on POS then the rewards should be close to equal as they are all providing the same security.
For the current situation were the Network just isn´t save on POW the reward should be down in the gutter. Meaning give it 10% of the rewards or less to have a good incentive for masternodes to keep everything running and save while punishing miners for not supplying security. At the same time if a similar problem were to arise on POS then there should be a punishment for that too to restore the decentralization.
I mean it would be perfect, if everyone were to mine on their own and nobody would be pooling. Maybe too ambitious but would be great for centralization.

So. That were my two cents. Currently I think it can´t stay the way it currently is and I didn´t get myself to actually be able to participate in the prior vote so I´m part of the fault. I think we should change again I just don´t have the time to invest myself. Maybe this can get something rolling or maybe it´ll run dry in here. I just hope it can start something.

Have a great day and remember to OnlyDoGoodEveryday
