Here is a slight confusion available for you all: xMiner is a hardware device meant for mining, while xMiner v2 is actually a software meant for mining at Bluepool.
Bluepool have been mentioned before too in TELOSNEWS.COM but what all Bluepool will hold is still to some extent a mystery and previous reports might have some errors in telling about it.
xMiner v2 is software for Windows (64-bit version only) that enables the user to mine with CPU or GPU in Bluepool specifically.
However, since Bluepool is a sort of insiders club where not just anyone can get access to so it would stay nicely profitable, you cant just download the software and start mining, but your wallet needs to get whitelisted first to get the access to the bluepool.
To get your wallet whitelisted, you either need to have bought one of the eligible things from Transcendence Project, which currently would be a Bluebox, xMiner (the hardware one), Piggy Bank v3 (for a limited time only), or you need to buy Bluepool Membership which currently costs 476 000 Telos and if announcement is to be trusted, will be climbing all the way to the price of 1.6 Million Telos soon, making it even at this point already, let alone in future, much cheaper to simply buy yourself one Bluebox to get the access.
When you are mining in bluepool, 80 percent of your mining power is used for your own mining, meaning that 80 percent of what you are about to get, you will get, and the rest 20 of that power will go to be distributed among all pool members – including yourself.
This is basically good since especially at the point when bluepool is going to start mining more than just XBTX, you will get your share of all these other coins too, meaning that you mine just one with for example CPU, and you get access to a whole load of different coins.
The rest 20 percent is being distributed based upon shares you own to bluepool. For example, if you own bluebox, you will get one share for each bluebox you own, so own 5 blueboxes and you get 5 shares.
xMiners, on the other hand, will get 10 shares each, after all, they cost about 10 times more.
This the situation with the Bluepool currently. If you wish to get on mining, go download xMiner v2 from here, and then you need to request your wallet address to be whitelisted either by contacting the place where you bought your eligible bought from or by asking from Pascal at discord.
Notice that during software testing it was noticed that Windows 10 deleted some of the files after unzipping since Windows defender thinks mining software as Malware, so depending upon your settings, especially on windows 10, you could encounter some trouble, so do it with your own risk and only if you know what you are doing.
