Flux Configuration

[edcomrocha]

Hello, I'm trying to configure Miningcore for Flux.

But I find the error below, something with the wallet, I found another post here that said that the wallet changed and it worked, but I changed the wallet, and the same error continues, I checked if the address was valid in the explorer and everything ok to me looks.

I used a zcash example which appears to be the same currency family, removing the zaddress as below.

Is there any more configuration to be done or what am I missing?

thanks for all the help

What does the flux entry look like in your coins.json file? If you're using the miningcore version as is then it has the wrong algo in there.

that is part of the problem. Flux uses 125/4 algo which is not part of miningcore and will need to be added before Flux will work. Then once you get the algo added you will have to make more modifications so it will payout the rewards correctly. I forget if they call it founder, dev rewards or if it's masternode rewards but it will reject all found blocks until that is added in there

[edcomrocha]

Ahhh ok.

I really don't know how to add 125/4

The developer rewards seem to be on coins.json, but the rest I have no idea haha.

Thank you for your help

Has anyone managed to get this to work? I have the server running with flux daemon, it is sync'd and all is working well. Ports are correct but miningcore can't seem to connect to the daemon and all I get is waiting to connect to daemon.

[davoodi-dre]

Found the issue on the daemon connection but now get the same error as above

Just playing around with the config and changed this

    "usesZCashAddressFormat": true,
    "useBitcoinPayoutHandler": false,

The error above refers to decoding the address if set to bitcoin, it is looking for a btc address. I may be completely off with what I am thinking, however, given this is an equihash algo, should this be set to Zcash format.

However when I do change it I then get this error.

[2023-02-08 15:15:28.5706] [E] [flux] Pool z-address is not configured
[2023-02-08 15:15:28.5706] [E] [Core] Cluster cannot start. Good Bye!

Not sure if I am on the right track or not.

[minershaven]

you will need a t address and a z address for this to work after you take care of the issues i mentioned above

[RulezZzOr]

any news on flux please?
