Latest XMRig release added support for CryptoNight Ultra Variant 2 using algorithm name “cn-pico/tlo”. This means XMRig is first third-party miner to add support for Talleo’s mining algorithm. All mining pools are encouraged to add support for algorithm negotiation using algorithm name “cn/ultra”.

API update for mining pools
Node daemon (Talleod) version 0.4.6 introduced new field in response to “getblocktemplate” API call. Field “num_transactions” now contain number of transactions included in the block template excluding the coinbase transaction. This can be directly used by mining pool to decide when the current block template might need to be refreshed… Mining pool can either refresh …
Daemon crashing on sync…
We have noticed Talleod crashing on Linux when it tries to sync with other nodes and one of the received transactions has very high anonymity level. This did cause buffer overflow in transaction validation. As a fix, we are limiting mixin count to maximum of 50.
Mining pools getting lots of rejected blocks
Due to block validation rule change at block height 10000, back-end software for mining pools need a patch. Every time a block submission is attempted, cached block template must be discarded, disregarding result of the block submission. This is because the cached block template might not have required amount of transactions and daemon has rejected …

Network stall on December 7th, 2019
Network stalled on block height 10008 due to logic flaw in pool software on official pool. It was not requesting new block from daemon after daemon rejected previous block submission. We rewrote the code that refreshes miner jobs to not blindly compare block height of the current job with block height of the network and …
Main net launched
Main net was online 41 seconds after midnight (UTC) on December 1st, 2019, as first block was successfully mined. After the network was stabilized and premine wallet was synced, all pool balances of at least 1.00 TLO were paid from premine to same wallet addresses as used on two listed pools on testnet.
Switch to mainnet
Talleo seed nodes, block explorer, and mining pools operated by team members, will have scheduled maintenance starting on November 30th to prepare switch to mainnet. All paid and pending balances on mining pools will be backed up before the pool databases are erased and pool wallets are reset. After successful switch to mainnet, backed up …
