Morana Network

Morana uses the KawPow proof-of-work algorithm — GPU mining.

The target block time is 60 seconds; difficulty is recalculated every block from the last 60 blocks. The DAG epoch changes every 7,500 blocks: the miner then rebuilds the large data set it keeps in GPU memory. The block reward in the first era (the first four years, up to the first halving) is 2,500 XMOR, of which the miner gets 80% in the first year and 82% to the end of the era. Details — Economics.

Connect

Stratum URL (EU, Europe):   stratum+tcp://stratum-eu.morana.network:3032
Stratum URL (US, Americas): stratum+tcp://stratum-us.morana.network:3032
Username:    <your-transparent-address>.<worker>
Password:    x

There are two project pools: EU in Europe and US in the Americas. Pick the nearest; from Asia, the one with the lower ping. Each pool counts its own shares and balances. The username is your transparent address tmor1… from the Morana wallet: rewards are paid to it. The part after the dot is the worker name, any label for this rig. Never share your recovery phrase — the pool only needs the address.

Password x keeps the pool's payout threshold. To set your own, put pl=N in the password, where N is the amount in XMOR, at least 1 — for example -p pl=5 in T-Rex or --pass pl=5 in GMiner. Details are in PPLNS.

Examples (T-Rex, GMiner)

# T-Rex (NVIDIA)
t-rex -a kawpow -o stratum+tcp://stratum-eu.morana.network:3032 -u tmor1qYOUR_ADDRESS.worker1 -p x

# GMiner (NVIDIA, AMD)
miner --algo kawpow --server stratum-eu.morana.network:3032 --user tmor1qYOUR_ADDRESS.worker1 --pass x

# In the Americas: stratum-us.morana.network:3032

Miners

Two KawPow miners: T-Rex for NVIDIA cards and GMiner for NVIDIA and AMD. The pool speaks plain KawPow stratum, so both connect the same way — the URL, the worker format and the password are the ones above.

Miner	GPUs	Algorithm flag
T-Rex	NVIDIA	`-a kawpow`
GMiner	NVIDIA, AMD	`--algo kawpow`

T-Rex runs on the project pool; GMiner is listed on the strength of its own documentation. If it does not connect for you, let us know.

Variable difficulty

A share is a partial solution the miner sends to the pool to show its work. The pool adjusts share difficulty per worker (vardiff). On testnet the pool starts at difficulty 0.001 and keeps it between 0.00025 and 0.05, aiming for about one share every 10 seconds per worker; it retargets once a minute. Expect a short warm-up while difficulty calibrates to your hashrate. A few rejected shares during this window are normal.

Payout policy

The network enforces the developer payment while that share is nonzero, and the relay payment when an eligible recipient is selected for the block. If no relay is eligible, its share stays with the miner. The pool does not set these shares.
The pool fee is 1% of the miner's reward.
Payouts follow PPLNS, from 1 XMOR, every 10 minutes.
Maturity — a block reward can be paid out after 100 confirmations, about 100 minutes.

NiceHash

Rented hashrate is permitted on testnet for stress-testing, but large sudden swings destabilize difficulty. Be considerate of other miners.
