XELIS Network Upgrade: Transitioning to XelisHashV2

XELIS will perform a hard fork at block height 434,100 on July 11, 2024 05:00–08:00 AM UTC, 2024 and switch to xelishashv2 algorithm. From this date on, it will use the xelishashv2 algorithm and miners must be used xelishashv2 algorithm.

Preparing Rigel Miner for xelishashv2

The only miner that is ready for automatic switching is currently Rigel. You can download the latest rigel 1.18.0+ miner from here.

xelishash -> xelishashv2 auto-switch, see this guide on how to set it up

Enable the auto-switch

If you want to be ready for automatic switching before the hard fork date, simply add this flag --enable-fork to your miner and restart.

rigel.exe -a xelishash -o stratum+tcp://de.xelis.herominers.com:1225 -u YOUR_XELIS_WALLET_ADDRESS -w YOUR_WORKER_NAME --enable-fork

If you will be mining XELIS as of the hard fork date, you can use these settings.

rigel.exe -a xelishashv2 -o stratum+tcp://de.xelis.herominers.com:1225 -u YOUR_XELIS_WALLET_ADDRESS -w YOUR_WORKER_NAME

Preparing SRBMiner for xelishashv2

SRBMiner does not support automatic switching to a new algorithm. You can download the latest SRBMiner-MULTI v2.5.8+ miner from here.

After the hard fork occurs, you need to change the algorithm as follows and restart your miner.

xelishash -> xelishashv2

Open start-mining-xelis.bat file and copy / paste example below.

SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --disable-cpu --algorithm xelishashv2 --pool de.xelis.herominers.com:1225 --wallet YOUR_XELIS_WALLET_ADDRESS.YOUR_WORKER_NAME

We will update the list as new miners support automatic switching or add xelishashv2 support.

Happy Mining.
