Flux (ZelCash) Mining Concludes \u2013 Pool Deactivation Accomplished<\/span><\/h2>\nOn October 20, 2025<\/strong>, mining for Flux (previously ZelCash)<\/strong> officially concluded on 2Miners. This transition occurred due to Flux shifting from conventional Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining to the novel Proof-of-Useful-Work v2 (PoUW v2)<\/strong> framework through Proof of Nodes (PON)<\/strong>.<\/p>\nOur Flux mining pools were deactivated at 19:00 UTC<\/strong> on October 20 to guarantee that all final disbursements could be processed prior to block 2,020,000<\/strong>, at which time the chain hard-forked and conventional mining ceased completely.<\/p>\n![\"MINER\"](\"https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/MINER.jpeg\"\/)

All balances exceeding the minimum limit of 10 FLUX have been successfully settled.<\/strong><\/p>\nWe regret the departure of Flux, but if you\u2019re searching for a new cryptocurrency to mine, utilize 2CryptoCalc<\/a> to explore the most lucrative options for your equipment.<\/p>\nZcash (ZEC) Node Upgrade \u2013 v6.10.0<\/span><\/h2>\nThe Zcash 6.10.0<\/strong> release introduces compatibility for the approaching NU6.1 network update<\/strong>, which is set to activate at block height 3,146,400<\/strong> \u2014 anticipated around November 23, 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAll node operators must upgrade to v6.10.0 or a later version<\/strong> to maintain compatibility with the mainnet following the NU6.1 activation.<\/p>\nIncluded ZIPs (Zcash Improvement Proposals):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- ZIP 271 \u2013 Deferred Dev Fund Lockbox Disbursement:<\/strong>
This proposal establishes a new Zcash Development Fund<\/em>, operated via a lockbox system. The lockbox comprises funds allocated for future network development, ensuring a consistent, clear, and sustainable funding mechanism for Zcash\u2019s ongoing enhancements. The fund incorporates all existing resources from the previous Deferred Development Fund Lockbox (ZIP 1015) and future contributions that may accumulate over time.<\/li>\n- ZIP 1016 \u2013 Community and Coinholder Funding Model (partial):<\/strong>
This proposal emphasizes decentralizing decision-making and enhancing the governance model surrounding Zcash funding. It aspires to boost transparency and provide coinholders a more direct say on the utilization of development funds. Without this update, block subsidies for the Zcash Community Grants<\/em> and the Deferred Development Fund Lockbox<\/em> (ZIP 2001) would have expired in November 2025, posing a risk of a funding gap for Zcash development organizations.
The adjustments introduced secure funding continuity, clarify governance frameworks, and render the process more dynamic and accountable to the Zcash community.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThese updates are vital for sustaining long-term project viability and reinstating investor trust. Following the NU6.1 upgrade announcement, ZEC experienced a notable price surge \u2014 climbing from approximately $130 to $443<\/strong> within a month \u2014 making Zcash mining more profitable than it has been in years.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/2miners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/zcash-zec-chart-scaled.png\"\/)
