With Nicehash coming back online and some general questions I have seen on here among other places I frequent I figured it was time to do a break down of the different GPU mining algorithms that are out there. I am going to ignore anything scrypt related. This is a work in progress and I will update it as time continues. My current go to exchange is Cryptopia feel free to use my referral If this helped you out feel free to toss a donation my way, guaranteed it will just go towards buying more GPU's and testing more out. ETH: 0xFA753B4992A375FD084Ce9F04Ab3BF LTC: LVbmEU3kA8YA7RtDbvpJrR6oPQiMacoQ77 Algorithms: Blake (2b) THIS ALGORITHM IS NOW MINED BY SCRYPT MINERS AND IS NOT PROFITABLE ON A GPU.

Blake (2b) This is supposed to have a dedicated scrypt miner one day (no idea how true this is or if I missed it). This is one of the algos that is dual mined with ethash. With a properly setup card there will be no drop in Ethash performance. For an RX 470/480/570/580 that happens right around dcri - 28-30. Most common miner is claymore's dual miner.

Common coin is SIA. I am going to leave card speed off on this one since it is dual mined. Cryptonight This is a memory intensive miner that heavily favors AMD cards, most specifically the new VEGA cards. This is by far the most profitable algo for VEGA right now. SGminer, XMR-Stack, CCminer, Claymore's Cryptonight are common miners for this algo. Typically power usage is quite low for all cards (20-40% lower than ethash/equihash miners). The lowered power usage makes this algo very nice for some of the older more power hungry cards.

This is still profitible with Tahiti, Tonga and Hawaii cards. Common coins, SUMO, ETN, Monero Common cards: AMD 78X0/R9 270(x):450H/s@100-120w AMD 79X0/R9 280(x):450-550H/s@100-120w AMD R9 290(x)/390(x):750-850H/s@120-150w AMD RX470/570/480/580: 750-850H/s@70-100w AMD Vega 56/64: 1900-2100H/s@150-250w Nvidia GTX 1060:400-500H/s@50-70w Nvidia GTX 1070:600-700H/s@80-90w Nvidia GTX 1080:500-600H/s@60-80w Nvidia GTX 1080Ti:800-900H/s@100-120w Equihash This is a GPU intensive miner that heavily favors Nvidia cards. The 1080Ti is the most efficient common card available for this. DTSM, EWBF, Optiminer, Claymore's, nheqminer are common miners for this algo. This is a higher power usage miner, with lower ram usage. This algo is known to bring PSU's to their knee's if you are cutting it close. Common coins, BTG, ZEN, ZEC, ZCL, HUSH Common cards: AMD R9 290(x)/390(x):350-450Sol/s@250-350w AMD Fury(x):450-500Sol/s@200-300w AMD RX470/570/480/580:300-350Sol/s@100-150w Nvidia GTX 1060:260-340Sol/s@80-120w Nvidia GTX 1070:400-470Sol/s@120-180w Nvidia GTX 1070Ti:450-500Sol/s@120-180w Nvidia GTX 1080:500-600sol/s@200-250w Nvidia GTX 1080Ti:800-900sol/s@250-300w Ethash I would credit this algo with the great push for modern GPU mining.

Currently the DAG file is the great limiter, you need at least a 3GB GPU to mine this right now, 3GB cards are tagged to last through April of 2019 at time of this writing. This is a middle of the road for power usage, it is memory intensive and is the big coin side used for dual mining. Common miners would be Claymore's, ethminer. NOTE: Mining on Maxwell based GPU's requires an OLD driver 347.88.

Nov 12, 2017 - BTC vs BCH - Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash. For the latecomers, I want to first explain what Bitcoin Cash is and show you some facts. Bitcoin Cash is a Bitcoin fork which was created this year on the 1st of August by a minority group of influential miners, developers, investors, and users who were against the. Mining Algorithms Explained. I figured it was time to do a break down of the different GPU mining algorithms that. Mines BTX (Bitcore. Bitcoin is pseudonymous, meaning that funds are not tied to real-world entities but rather bitcoin addresses. Owners of bitcoin addresses are not explicitly identified, but all transactions on the blockchain are public. In addition, transactions can be linked to individuals and companies through 'idioms of use' (e.g., transactions. As many of you may know, Bitcore BTX is already listed on https. Mining Algo: Timetravel 10 (GPU) Segwit and Bloom online; Smooth Diff64_15 difficulty algoritm.

Common coins, ETH, UBQ, EXP, PIRL, MUSIC. There are other nuances about this algo, due to the way the DAG works, older AMD cards (Tahiti/Tonga) you need to mine low difficulty/early DAG coins to maintain a useful hashrate, as the DAG grows the memory controller is further stressed lowering hashrate on AMD cards, Nvidia's 970 also seems to suffer some from this as things get closer to maxing out it's 3.5GB of fast memory.

Ccminer -t 4 -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool.trezarcoin.com:6666 -u cdawall.test -p testfirst item is the exe you are trying to run, mine is labeled ccminer.exe so the program call is 'ccminer'. The -t command is number of threads, not every ccminer requires this switch, KlausT's does. This.bat is setup for 4 cards so I am running 4 threads.

The -a command refers to algorithm, in this case neoscrypt. The -o command is referencing the pool to point to, I am mining Trezarcoin on the official pool through port 6666 which happens to be the variable difficulty port. Some coins/polls have set difficulty ports pay attention to match your rig based on what difficulty you need.

Low difficulty shares are worth less than high difficulty ones. The -u command is for user this pool requires a user login and a miner name. In this case I am using a user name of cdawall and a rig name of test. Roi On Nexus NXS Mining here. The -p command references password which is required for this pool. The default is typically 'x' Claymore's-- These typically have a couple files in there to help you out, one start.bat and one config file. The Start.bat will simply call the miner up, most claymore miners will use a config file if you don't put any other commands in the.bat.

We are going to be dealing with the 'config' file now. Xpool stratum+tcp://etn-eu1.nanopool.org:13333 -xwal etnjxiUh3fMFfPRvzsxheFboxvqZ55spqDXwY2p2Sx92Xa58K99Pe6p8xhK46HSrqmgX6cxP5sPKUB7zCq3zZhUB3PNwAM4FNc.270x/cdawall@email.com -xpsw z -dmem 1 -h 480 -cclock 950 -cvddc 950 -mclock 1500 -powlim -20 -tt 75 -fanmin 80 -tstop 89So this setup is a bit different, but basically the same as CCminer (this will get redundant soon). -cpool is going to be your pool, i am connected to nanopool for etn.

-xwal is your wallet address, nanopool supports rig naming and you can sync it to your email for updates on system outages. I have names this one '270x' and it goes to my not real email of.

Next up is -xpsw which is just the password which is a default z on this. This particular version of claymore is claymore cyrptonote which is the cryptonight algorithm, the -dmem 1 flag uses double the memory.

-h is for memory usage/intensity, there is more to what this exactly stands for, for now just know whatever number you type times 4.2 gives you ram usage, this config will use 2016mb, which is about perfect for my 2gb 270x. The next lines are all for clockspeeds/voltages, this is easier than dealing with msiafterburner/wattman, cclock is core clock, cvddc is core voltage in mV, mclock is memory clock, powlim is power limit. If you want multiple cards individually set separate the information with a comma -cclock 950, 1000, 1500 would assign three cards the clockspeeds of 950, 1000 and 1500 respectively.

You can control the other values in the config file in this manner. -tt is 'target temperature' it will adjust fans to try and hit that temp, -fanmin sets a minimum fan speed. Tstop sets a stop temperature, this is set to 89C.

DTSM EWBF I only mess with the run.bat on this, there are things you can tweak inside of the config file if you feel the need to. Miner --server eu.btgpool.pro --port 3857 --user GXMxPzC1ZAQD5ywHYxyPzwifAmLhNaxcUD.worker --pass x --pecPretty simple miner to get going. As always you are going to call the program, the it is --server for the server, --port for the port, --user for your address.worker if your pool supports the.worker extension, --pass for the password (default x is used here) and --pec is the only extra switch I throw in on this one. That gives you the power to sol ratio for your card to track power usage. SGminer Gateless Gate XMR-STAK This one doesn't actually require you to make the.bat files and has an auto run to prepare everything for you.

This is a somewhat one click miner for AMD/NV/CPU. Just insert pool, address and user/password when prompted. If you are trying to mine just AMD or just nvidia delete the CPU bat file in the miner after it creates it and the.dll for either cuda (Nvidia) or opencl (AMD). There is argument that performance rate on this is the best for Cryptonight, my own personal experiences seem to reflect that actual shares at the pool is the similar to claymore's miner. That being said there is a Vega specific fork for this that is by far the best.

But lets not dream or something more shady (though most would say 'the procedure is totally transparent' and can be found anywhere. While i have been searching for a while and didn't find a clue about that ) sooooo what the energy invested in does?

Surely not only mining Virtual$$$ while covering the electricity bill and adding a bonus for. 'free' (since nothing is really free in this world. And i would rather see that excessive consumption benefiting to something like WCG/F@H, although.

Being rewarded for something i did quite often for free would feel weird and mmhhh. Somewhat less noble, but still better than the actual mining work setup) nonetheless that thread/post is.

I do leave mark on bench sometime, to remember which one is the most comfortable.:o. Interesting, thanks. 'Bitcoin mining is a key part of the security of the Bitcoin system. The idea is that Bitcoin miners group a bunch of Bitcoin transactions into a block, then repeatedly perform a cryptographic operation called hashing zillions of times until someone finds a special extremely rare hash value. At this point, the block has been mined and becomes part of the Bitcoin block chain.

The hashing task itself doesn't accomplish anything useful in itself, but because finding a successful block is so difficult, it ensures that no individual has the resources to take over the Bitcoin system.' Mmmhhh so the compute power is actually used to 'encrypt' cryptocoins transactions. Security is important i reckon, so, in the end you are 'paid' to improve the cryptography of the coins in question.

Too bad, so sad it's not used for something like F@H/WCG even partially. My point of view of the cryptocurrencies remain the same then.

If you did not receive the full amount you expected for the airdrop it usually means some of your coins in your wallet are stored on an unregistered address. This can happen when you create a transaction: The wallet software automatically creates a new change address which is not fully visible when using normal settings. Please read our to prevent this issue in the future (for Bitcore Core / Bitcore-QT wallet). When using Coinomi wallet please make sure to disable automatic address generation in the settings. Airdrops are available for everyone that has at least 1.0 BTX in. The airdrops happens every Monday, the snapshot is taken between 0:00 am and 24:00 Berlin time. Make sure to have your funds in your wallet during that time frame.

To be sure you will receive the airdrop don’t move your coins until after you’ve received your airdrop. An announcement will be made in the bitcointalk forum, if the snapshot for the current airdrop is done. Claiming refers to our hybrid fork, that allows everyone that held Bitcoin at the time of the snapshot (BTC block #492820) to claim his BTX. Bitcore (BTX) is a cryptocurrency that is geared towards a payment system.

It solves a lot of the issues that other coins like for example Bitcoin have. Most importantly Bitcore is miles ahead in regards of scaling. Bitcore was created in April 2017 by the talented developers of BitSend (BSD). With Bitcore we created a new blockchain, this means that our blockchain is super-tiny with currently less than 400 MB in size unlike the blockchains of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond and Super Bitcoin which all are 135 GB+ at the moment.

We created a snapshot of the Bitcoin blockchain and copied over 5 million balances from the Bitcoin chain to the Bitcore chain, giving each user that had 0.01 BTC on the snapshot date (2nd of November 2017) FREE Bitcore in the ratio of 1 BTC to 0.5 BTX. It combines the latest Bitcoin crypto technology, including SegWit, Core 0.15 and Bloom, together with a 10 MB block size, fast 2.5 minutes block times, a new low sized blockchain (~400 MB) and completely new tech like the smooth Diff64_15 difficulty algorithm and the GPU-mining algorithm Timetravel10. Total coin supply, the halving schedule and the actual block reward are similar to Bitcoin. The low blockchain size is a result of Bitcore NOT being a fork of Bitcoin like Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold or Bitcoin Diamond. Instead it uses a new blockchain which makes use of the genuine hybrid fork method. Some of the basic source code for B3 was written by our developer Christian. However this was a side-job as an external programmer, there has never been an affiliation by the Bitcore team or by Chris with B3.

Everything regarding B3 is now the full responsibility of the B3 team. Bitcloud is a masternode coin, which is continuing to receive constant updates from Christian. However most members of Bitcore are not involved in BTDX. BitSend is a cryptocurrency with a network being sustained by both miners and masternodes. To allow reaching their full potential in the future, BitSend BSD, together with Bitcore BTX are receiving the main attention from developers and the support team.

This is a direct result of the positive responses both projects continue to receive from the community. Bitcore is one of the first known cryptocurrencies to use the hybrid fork method to distribute BTX to Bitcoin holders. Instead of forking Bitcoin at a specific block and copying the blockchain, Bitcore created a new coin with an empty blockchain. On the 2nd of November 2017 a snapshot of the Bitcoin blockchain was created and in the following days approx. 5 000 000 transactions were created to fill all addresses (public keys) on the Bitcore blockchain, that had funds of 0.01 BTC or above on the Bitcoin chain. The funding ratio is 0.5 BTX: 1.0 BTC. You can read more about this world record in transactions here: •.

If you have a connection to the network, sometimes syncing can take a while, especially if it is your first time running Bitcore Core (Bitcore-QT). If you are unable to connect to any node, copy the list into your bitcore.conf file, located in%appdata%.

You can find the full node list here: If this doesn’t work, you can try adding them manually via the console. Use addnode x.y.z add Alternatively you can download our full installer, including our blockchain and a full node list here: Also, make sure to check the and try the latest version installer for Bitcore. What is Bitcore (BTX)? Bitcore (BTX) is GPU mineable POW coin. It uses custom hash algorithm called “TimeTravel10”. Block reward is 3.125 BTX + transaction fees.

Mining rewards follows the same halving pattern as BTC. How to mine Bitcore (BTX)? You will need to know if you have AMD or Nvidia graphic cards. For Nvidia cards you can use CCMINER or SPMOD.

SPMOD is a special modded version of CCMINER optimised for mining Bitcore (BTX). It’s not available for free. You can find more information about SPMOD here: or ask the admins in our official mining telegram group: CCMINER download links: For AMD cards you will need SGMINER with a specific version which has “TimeTravel10” algorithm included. SGMINER is available for free, download it here: Where to mine Bitcore (BTX)?

Please visit our Official mining pool at How to setup my rig for mining? You will need to create a custom.bat file which you will need to place inside the directory where sgminer.exe or ccminer.exe is located. This.bat file is your entry file to start mining as it will set your wallet address where you going to receive future payouts. You can also specify worker name, optional password, mining intensity, specify number of devices to use for mining etc. Example command if you mine with Nvidia cards (for CCMINER): Example command if you mine with Nvidia cards (for SPMOD): Example command if you mine with AMD cards (for SGMINER) How to check profitability for mining?
