Montréal — Myriade today announced the release of their open-source alpha version of a new pool mining payout protocol called Fortune Mining. This protocol allows individuals with sub-optimal CPU power to potentially mine Monero ($XMR) profitably. To get started visit https://myriade.io for more details or https://github.com/myriadeinc to view the code.

· Fortune Mining allows people with below average CPU power to mine Monero profitably

· A user who mines will earn mining credits which they can then use to win Monero

· The Mining software has been made easy to download/use with video and text tutorials

“The ability to use any spare cpu power you may have laying around the house to mine Monero profitably is instrumental to maintaining the decentralisation of the Monero Blockchain. Decentralisation should not rely on the disposable funds of a few good-natured participants who mine for fun or take hours to fine tune and optimize their hardware to scrape by into the profit column,” said Paul Beltekas, Myriade’s CEO. “Now, even if you’ve never mined before we have worked hard to make sure that it is so easy to get going that a pretty smart 7-year-old could do it.”

Once a user signs up and downloads the mining software, they will be earning Mining Credits(MC). It does not matter if the pool itself earns a block or not, the users will be credited with the MC they have earned regardless. Once a user has accrued enough credits, they can take them over to the game room. The only game available on launch is Giveaways where users can use their credits like arcade tokens and purchase tickets to enter a variety of drawings where they can earn Monero. There will always be a winner regardless of number of participants. The prize will always go to an entrant and never to Myriade itself.

By being focused on the amateur Monero enthusiast, the Myriade site walks users through the process of how to use the service as well as how to run and install the open-source mining software: “XMRIG” onto their PC’s for Windows, Linux, and MacOS users. They have also included a pre-made “config” file, allowing users to just drag and drop the file into their mining software folder and get started right away. The config file allows itself to be optimised by XMRIG on first run so it can tailor itself to the PC that it is being run on. For added measure, they have made sure to include video tutorials to walk users through some of the more headache inducing parts of mining.

Making Monero more accessible to anyone is a key factor in growing the adoption of the Cryptocurrency. “Since the Monero core developers have their hands full making sure the system remains at the forefront of privacy, it is up to individuals in the community to pick up some of the crucial slack related to ease of entry. That is one of the key focuses of Fortune Mining and one of the primary missions of Myriade as a company.” said Myriade’s President Rifat Hanano
