422 blocks done in just a couple hours… Seems like we’ll reach block 20k in less than a week.
How did you get 4 mining threads to run (from your screen shot)?
We knew that the difficulty would likely take a while to catch up with the mining rate initially; that was part of the motivation for slow start. The block time is at 77.84s at 18:13 UTC, so it looks like it will have adjusted correctly in less than 1000 blocks, which means that the target slow start period is unlikely to be shortened by more than about 2 days.
Edit: block time now 125s at 17:18 UTC after 478 blocks – should reach the target soon.
So I started fresh… rm -r all the .zcash, .zcash-para, and zcash dirs.
Ran through the updated install guide.
Now I get this in the debug.log:

And 0 validated transactions. What gives?
UFW was enabled. Disabled for now. What ports should I allow?
How create Worker and where???
I am also using VM on MBP but did you change the genproclimit=6, or 8 whatever you feel feasible and also using tromp solver?
if yes then this should fetch you 5.5 sol/s
how you checked this?
Im so gassed up for this - I am fetching params now and its taking forever lol keep you posted!!
Hallo Paige,
I make a new Installation.
Bei checkout I’e got this message:
Head is now at 1fea… Update network magics for 1.0.0. z…
Do you have any Idea what I’m doing wrong?
yeah you are mining and on target with fair enough sol/s with 4 threads only. Can you tell what machine are u using with specs?
add genproclimit=6 to your .conf file to run 6 threads
I had 4 threads running, but with tromp solver it does kick it up to 2.3400 Sol/s. It’s an old and slow machine 
After a short sleep (early morning here), two nodes up and running on mainnet.
Happy mining everyone 
SOMETHING IS WRONG??

probably you are still on test net and perhaps you did not edit .conf file. consult wiki on zcash git.
Please, help me. what’s wrong?

in my config file “rpcuser=username” it’s normal or i need use other rpcuser?
How to create worker? RPC worker
Followed User Guide, compiled at least twice and am now mining on Ubuntu. Thanks for the assist.
Thanks for the tromp tip. I went with genproclimit=2 to get ~2.8 Sol/s. The load cycles among the 8 cores on the machine, fwiw.
If you want to enable CPU mining, run these commands:
echo 'gen=1' >> ~/.zcash/zcash.conf echo “genproclimit=$(nproc)” >> ~/.zcash/zcash.conf
