This is an interesting project that is still largely flying under the radar, even though it was started back in 2018. With a sub $300 USD market cap and surprisingly low trading volume due to limited exchanges trading the coin… Continue Reading →
If you might be interested in MicroBitcoin’s (MBC) Rainforestv2 mining on Nvidia GPUs you might want to check out the latest optimized spmod ccminer fork that offers significantly faster performance than the publicly available official version from djm34 (rfv2 ccminer)…. Continue Reading →
Bitmain has just announced two new Bitcoin ASIC miners with improved power efficiency and hashrate – Antminer S17+ and T17+ at the World Digital Mining Summit (WDMS) in Frankfurt today. The Antminer S17+ has a hash rate of 73 TH/s… Continue Reading →
The SINOVATE (SIN) project has announced a plan for a mainnet upgrade at block height 262000 or somewhere around October 14th that will introduce a number of changes, including ones that are very important to miners. There is a new… Continue Reading →
Modifying the BIOS of an AMD video card with different operating frequencies or better memory timings and then flashing it on the GPU has been the primary choice of crypto miners for a while. Due to the introduction of the… Continue Reading →
A week ago there was a fork for the BitCash (BITC) project in order to switch to the new X16Rv2 PoW algorithm. Due to some issues however GPU mining ended up not working up properly, so only CPU solo mining… Continue Reading →
The AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher tool by ToastyX has been available for quite some time wit the main goal of modifying the AMD/ATI video driver to allow higher resolutions and refresh rates by removing the 165 MHz pixel clock limit… Continue Reading →
A few days have already passed since the fork of Ravencoin (RVN) on October 1st that included a change in the PoW algorithm used for mining – from X16R to X16Rv2. As you can see from the network hashrate graph… Continue Reading →
The DERO project is one more crypto coin that plans to move from CryptoNight to the new RandomX algorithm most likely before the end of the year. The reason that is cided is to introduce more decentralization and participation to… Continue Reading →
The author of the popular SRBminer CryptoNight AMD GPU miner, doktor83, has just released a new mining software called SRBMiner-MULTI CPU and AMD GPU Miner. The new miner is targeted at algorithms for CPU mining as well as some CPU… Continue Reading →
A recent small change in the Decred (DCR) protocol has apparently resulted in the old GPU miners not being able to mine anymore, so an update is required in order to continue mining DRC coins. There is already an updated… Continue Reading →
Luxcore (LUX) project also known as LUXCoin previously has announced their plans for an upcoming fork that will replace the currently used PHI2 algorithm to a new one called RX2 (essentially a variation of the lately popular RandomX algo). RX2… Continue Reading →
The RavenCoin (RVN) fork has been successfully executed and mining with GPUs is back once more with mining profitability of RVN the highest at the moment among GPU-mineable altcoins thanks to no significant change in the price. The hashrate is… Continue Reading →
ZelCash (ZEL) is an anonymous cryptocurrency that has been forked from ZCash (ZEC), but has since been evolving into a kind of a multi-functional crypto ecosystem. Initially the project used the Equihash algorithm that ZEC used (Equihash 200,9), but has… Continue Reading →
Tomorrow Ravencoin (RVN) will be forking at 16:00:00 UTC and the fork comes with a change for the current X16R to the new X16RV2 algorithm and you need to make sure you are ready for the switch. First off you… Continue Reading →
We have not talked about the BitCash (BITC) project for quite some time, but it just got our attention once more with its recent fork. BitCash has moved to the new X16Rv2 algorithm, however you will not be able to… Continue Reading →
If you are looking for a CPU miner with support for the RandomX mining algorithm that Monero (XMR) will be forking to you might want to try the latest XMRig miner. Apart from the RandomX algorithm it also supports two… Continue Reading →
Monero (XMR) will be once more changing its PoW algorithm for mining in an effort to attract regular miners CPU/GPU miners and drive away FPGA/ASIC miners. Testing on the private RandomX testnet has concluded successfully and RandomX PoW mining will… Continue Reading →
The latest T-Rex Nvidia GPU miner version 0.14.4 has also introduced support for the new X16Rv2 algorithm, just like the z-enemy 2.2 miner did (the one Ravencoin is forking to starting next month). Although z-enemy was technically first with an… Continue Reading →
With the RVN fork to X16Rv2 right around the corner already we are starting to see updates to mining software adding support for it. It has been a while since we have seen an update for the z-enemy miner, but… Continue Reading →
