Skein PoW algorithm – Skein ASIC miner and list of coins based on Skein

coinguides — Sun, 18 Nov 2018 12:23:53 +0000

There are a large number of Proof of Work algorithms available but not all of the algorithms can be mined by a regular user. The profitability of mining an algorithm / coin depends on the kind of equipment that you intend to use. Some are CPU mineable; some are GPU friendly and some algorithms are …

Lyra2REv2 Algorithm – List of Coins & Lyra2v2 Miners for NVIDIA / AMD

coinguides — Thu, 11 Oct 2018 13:33:50 +0000

With the rise of ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) and FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) mining; standard hardware’s like CPUs and GPUs are being pushed out of the game. Most cryptocurrencies that claims to have ASIC resistant algorithm are not actually resistance to ASIC. They say this because there are no ASICs or FPGAs developed …

Lbry algorithm – LBRY Credits (LBC), coins / miners (CPU, GPU, ASIC, FPGA)

coinguides — Sat, 29 Sep 2018 12:44:19 +0000

Most Proof of Work (PoW) algorithms including SHA-256 that is used by Bitcoin was only CPU mineable during its early days. Then GPU miners came and made CPU mining less viable. Later GPUs was completely replaced by specialized ASIC mining machines. Now only users who own such specialized miners can make profit from mining Bitcoin …

Grøstl Algorithm – Groestl PoW algorithm coins and miners

coinguides — Sat, 01 Sep 2018 13:54:36 +0000

Previously we made an article about Keccak hashing algorithm which is a member of SHA family. Another one which we covered about is Blake2b (Blake). This one doesn’t come under SHA family but is one of the SHA-3 finalist chosen by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). Here comes another finalist called Grøstl. Along …

Time Travel (TimeTravel10 | Bitcore) Algorithm, coins, miners and hashrate

coinguides — Sat, 21 Jul 2018 10:36:04 +0000

In recent times we’ve been sharing about algorithms that are not so popular in crypto mining space. Some of these algorithms that we covered in the past are Keccak, HMQ1725, C11, Tribus, PHI1612 and Nist5. Among GPU miners these algorithms are not so popular compared to Ethash, Equihash or NeoScrypt. The main reason is either …

How to mine GINcoin – Mining GIN coin using CPU and GPU (NVIDIA / AMD)

coinguides — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 10:55:52 +0000

Currently for both NVIDIA and AMD graphic cards mining Ethereum seem to be slightly profitable. Followed by few CryptoNight, Ethash and NeoScrypt coins. Equihash is out of the list due to its ASIC dominance and CPU mining is not so feasible due to GPU dominance. If you are the one who mine and cash out …

HMQ1725 algorithm – List of HMQ1725 coins and mining software’s

coinguides — Fri, 06 Jul 2018 11:33:30 +0000

Last week on coin list we’ve shared about Keccak algorithm and its coins. Even though there isn’t an ASIC in existence; Keccak is not so popular among GPU miners. The main reason is there are only a very few notable coins with that algorithm. Similarly this week we’ll cover another interesting and rare mining algorithm …

If you are following Lux project or were mining LuxCoin previously then you know that the Luxcore blockchain was stuck for more than 2 weeks. It was a result of hardfork that occurred at block height 300k which were to introduce several new features to the network such as: PHI2, Smart Contracts, SegWit and Block …
