Lithos activity is picking up! 45 blocks mined from the 7th to the 12th, and already 26 blocks today. ergo:native deserves watching. They (Ergo) have a real chance to break the mining pool monopoly here and transition to a decentralized block production model where individual miners keep a larger portion of the rewards for block production, plus the incentives added by the mining contract.

New lithos_dashboard release, now with an optional web UI: github.com/arcadiancomp/lith…

One advantage of being an early adopter: competition is usually low at the start. If everyone mining on traditional ergo:native pools (miningpoolstats.stream/ergo) knew it was possible, they would all switch to Lithos:

Updated lithos_dashboard to attempt a monthly income projection in terms of ergo:native and LIT: github.com/arcadiancomp/lith…

Added a "Network Adoption" section to lithos_dashboard so we can track the growth of the pool. github.com/arcadiancomp/lith… It will be interesting to see how the shape of the network changes as more miners switch over: miningpoolstats.stream/ergo

We think it might help others understand the full implications of what you are saying here if they can visualize what is happening behind the scenes with Lithos. So we designed a CLI dashboard python script. It is very basic, but it does highlight how the block subsidy itself is not the driving economic incentive for participating in Ergo via Lithos. It will be fun to revisit this screenshot once we have a much larger pool of Lithos miners. Code here: github.com/arcadiancomp/lith…

Tuning Lithos is proving to be interesting. From what we know so far, you want to lock in your miners difficulty at a level where your rig can generate roughly 15 super shares in the rolling 60 block window. The default 4.0G was WAY too high for our aging 4x RX6600 test rig, ~10.6M is looking reasonable here.
