Community Update

General Announcements

With the launch of both mining pool and prover features, the team has been focused on testing and optimization. We highly encourage all community members to try these individual features out on their own, and report back any bugs/issues that you find.
Thank you for your continued patience & effort to help us spot/fix issues.
We’ve fixed the bugs with our CUDA miner, but are still working on optimizing performance. Stay tuned for instructions on how to run. We really appreciate everyone who wants to try it out and submit feedback.

Highlights
- Big thanks to xbeastx and kernel32uiuc who contributed fixes for msm/cuda (‣ and ‣) that didn’t get merged, but we really appreciate the effort and time and so want to award both of you with 500 Aleo credits. Please reach out to Alex or Anthony on Discord so we can make sure to record the necessary information
