I want to raise a concern about the direction TIG’s benchmarking and algorithm-adoption system is heading in. This is not intended as an attack on TigPool, and it isn’t a complaint that one pool has more compute than an… --- ## [Same solution and quality, but fuel differs by thousands of times — is this allowed?](https://forum.tig.foundation/t/same-solution-and-quality-but-fuel-differs-by-thousands-of-times-is-this-allowed/98)

While checking benchmark 0fdcd53cb6d2c4d809fad283a91ae002, nonce 53, for c005\_a031, I reproduced the same final solution and quality using the official algorithm artifacts. The benchmark declares aws\_g4dn, while my repl… --- ## [Testnet submission rejects c007 job\_scheduling as invalid challenge](https://forum.tig.foundation/t/testnet-submission-rejects-c007-job-scheduling-as-invalid-challenge/88)
