According to @shishirpai, a 50% hashrate optimization has been achieved, with setup instructions posted in the releases channel of the Discord at discord.gg/xQknHAjmsK on Nov 14, 2025, source: x.com/shishirpai/status/1989040029146980587 and twitter.com/shishirpai/status/1989249903269409097. According to @shishirpai, the X post does not specify the mining algorithm, target coin, or hardware (GPU or ASIC), and provides no public in-thread benchmarks, limiting immediate assessment of miner profitability impact, source: x.com/shishirpai/status/1989040029146980587. According to @shishirpai, traders should wait for independent verification in the Discord releases channel before pricing any performance gains into mining-related tokens or miner equities and monitor for reproducible benchmarks to validate the claimed hashrate optimization software, source: discord.gg/xQknHAjmsK and x.com/shishirpai/status/1989040029146980587.
