ELI5 for the huge @taohash subnet 14 update we dropped today…
- We’re moving to share based evaluations instead of pure hash rate.
- Adds support for high difficulty miners. This was a bottleneck which didn’t allow high powered machines to participate in the network.
- Adds support for solo mining & other pools instead of only Braiins. This is a big one.
- We added 2 proxy implementations, lightweight one for miners and batteries included for validators (although miners can also the full one with some tweaks). This open source proxy is probably the only one which is built with latest tech, previous open source implementations are very old (~10 years).
- Dashboards are included to see real time stats along with full share accounting.
- Adds the groundwork for miners to earn BTC as well, with inspiration from TIDES framework. This is the next step.
- Also now we won’t depend on third-party services to help us evaluate miners; we can do it on our own and tweak it as we want moving forward.
