The update expanded the existing Zcash Mining Guide by adding support for the Sovright Mining Pool and introducing the Sovright Relay Network while preserving the guide's original structure and flow.

What was done

  • Added a new "Sovright Mining Pool" section under Step 3: Choose and Join a Mining Pool.

  • Introduced Sovright Mining Pool as an additional mining pool option for Zcash miners.

  • Included a brief overview explaining that it provides dedicated infrastructure for Equihash mining and offers worker monitoring and payout tracking.

  • Listed key features, including:

    • ASIC miner support.
    • Mining statistics and worker monitoring.
    • Pool dashboard for hashrate and payout tracking.
    • Configuration guides for connecting mining hardware.
    • Infrastructure designed specifically for Zcash mining.
  • Added the official Sovright Mining Pool website:

  • Added step-by-step instructions explaining how miners can connect to the Sovright Mining Pool using their wallet address and the pool's stratum server details.

Added a new "Sovright Relay Network" section

  • Created a dedicated section introducing the Sovright Relay Network.

  • Explained the purpose of relay nodes in the Zcash ecosystem.

  • Described how relay nodes improve:

    • Block propagation.
    • Transaction propagation.
    • Network reliability.
    • Geographic connectivity.
    • Decentralization and network resilience.
  • Added the official Relay Network link:

  • Explained that the Relay Network helps full nodes and miners stay synchronized with the latest blockchain data.

Updated best practices

Added recommendations encouraging miners to:

  • Use the latest stratum endpoints published by the Sovright Mining Pool.
  • Support Zcash infrastructure by participating in or learning about the Sovright Relay Network.
  • Continue following Zcash ecosystem updates and best practices.

Overall, the update enhances the Mining Guide by introducing Sovright's mining and networking infrastructure, giving users another mining pool option while educating them about relay networks and their role in improving the performance, reliability, and decentralization of the Zcash network.
