A mining game promising a 96%-win rate feels like a bogus claim, but I've spent the last two weeks interacting with the Token in Pool Fight (TIPF) mining game and the promise holds true. Here's an intro thread to get you started. 🧵

@TIPF_AI If only they had MagicBlock, right?

🔥

@Dee_Orakle Grand rising

Grand rising peeps Up and grinding early today Happy Wednesday

This needs an update, right? @solflare Still my favourite of all memes I've done this year..😂

@moonwalkfitness Just cook!

@the_coldriver 👀👀👀

Seated and waiting patiently for whatever @moonwalkfitness is cooking... How many tickets have you accumulated?

@Dee_Orakle @TIPF_AI @SolanaCollectiv @skyL2023 @JoshFlashAY It is gud tek

@the_coldriver @TIPF_AI @SolanaCollectiv @skyL2023 @JoshFlashAY Sounds like gud tek

A mining game promising a 96%-win rate feels like a bogus claim, but I've spent the last two weeks interacting with the Token in Pool Fight (TIPF) mining game and the promise holds true. Here's an intro thread to get you started. 🧵

I've explained what you need to know to get started on TIPF immediately. I'll also cover other aspects of the platform in the coming days. But hold your horses; Mining is currently paused as TIPF is currently upgrading its random function to MagicBlock's latest iteration to provide an even fairer and more transparent winner selection mechanism. In the meantime, get familiar with TIPF via the following links: - Official X: @TIPF_AI - dApp: tipf.ai - Telegram: t.me/TIPFDAO - Gitbook: tipf-1.gitbook.io/tipf-docs

There's more! Outside the SOL and TIPF rewards, 20 TIPF is added to a bag called the MOTHERLODE per round. This bag continues to accumulate TIPF and has a 1/625 chance of getting triggered. Once it is triggered, the accumulated TIPF is distributed on the basis of weighted deposits to all participants of the trigger round. Note that the bag can sometimes run into thousands of TIPF before getting triggered!

@JoshFlashAY Start early, grow early. Glad to be in your guild.

While mining is paused, the guild grind isn't. When I first set up my guild a few days back, it was fresh, name locked in, visuals sorted, but still early in terms of actual members. Mentioned at the time I was working on building it out properly. Used the pause in mining activity to do exactly that. Focused on the guild side since it's still active while mainnet testing runs. Got 2 more people in, guild is now sitting at 5 members and we've moved from 14th to 13th on the rankings. Small jump, but it's movement and it's early. If you've been watching the TIPF series and haven't made a move yet, this is actually the right window. Mining is paused but guild setup isn't. Getting in now means you're positioned before activity resumes rather than scrambling after. Guild link in case you want in: 👉 tipf.ai/node?referral=… The grind continues. 👀 @TIPF_AI @SolanaCollectiv

TIPF just shipped a major infrastructure upgrade. Here's what it actually means for miners. @TIPF_AI has moved its VRF system onto Magicblock's Ephemeral Rollups. The announcement is technical but the implications are straightforward, here's what changes for you as a miner. Faster results, no dead time. VRF no longer runs as a direct on-chain call. By moving onto ephemeral rollups, round settlement is near-instant. No more waiting between cycles, the dead time between rounds is essentially gone. Zero per-round oracle fees. This one matters more than it sounds. Every round previously carried a recurring VRF oracle cost that came out of protocol overhead. That cost is now eliminated entirely, meaning more of what flows through the protocol stays in the ecosystem rather than bleeding out to infrastructure fees. Better for miner rewards long term. The fairness guarantee stays intact, and gets stronger. Every round outcome still comes with a cryptographic proof published on-chain. Tamper-proof, independently verifiable, no third party can influence results. The level playing field that made TIPF worth writing about doesn't change, the infrastructure delivering it just got faster and cheaper. Built for scale. The upgraded system handles significantly more concurrent miners without congestion. No stuck rounds, no failed transactions during peak activity. As the guild competition and weekly prize pools bring more players in, the infrastructure is now ahead of that growth rather than reacting to it. This is also the foundation for what's coming. Guild battles, mining tournaments, new game modes The announcement confirms these are in the pipeline, and this rebuild is specifically what makes shipping them faster and cleaner possible. Worth paying attention to. Mining is currently paused while mainnet testing completes. @TIPF_AI will announce the resumption date once it's ready. More to come. 👀

⚠️ Important Update: MagicBlock ER Upgrade, Mining Pause & Mainnet Testing Notice TIPF will be performing a full infrastructure upgrade to integrate MagicBlock Ephemeral Rollup (ER).

@SolanaCollectiv @TIPF_AI Congrats everyone 🎉

We are excited to officially announce the winners of the Solana Collective x @TIPF_AI Bounty! All of you did such a great job! There were so many strong submissions; your research was excellent and the immense amount of work you put in really showed. Well done, Members! Now for the exciting part 🏆👇

Key benefits of the MagicBlock ER upgrade: 1.Faster round settlement VRF runs on ephemeral rollups instead of direct on-chain calls, slashing latency. Miners get near-instant round results with no dead time between cycles.
