(Update 6th Oct, 2017. Fixed inefficient bug resulting lower hashrate on pools, compiled with latest cuda. Djm34 binary is highly recommended than other ccminer releases). Nov 14, 2016 - Zerocoin/Moneta/Zcoin uses RSA-based ZK proofs. Unlike Zcash, separate parameters are needed for each denomination of coin, and there is information leakage about the denominations used. Proofs are about 45 KiB (not even taking into account the need for multiple proofs for the denominated coins). Aug 1, 2017 - Like its parent, Bata is a proof-of-work coin that uses the scrypt hasing algorithm for 'mining', although the total coin supply has been limited to just 5 million (less than a quarter of Litecoin's). The cryptocurrency derives its name fromt the word 'barter'. Original announcement. Bitcoin Gold (BTG) (72).

Greetings Steemians! I haven't posted a mining update in awhile so I thought it would be a good idea to summarize the latest coin I'm mining, XZC, also known as ZCoin. What is ZCoin? ZCoin is the first cryptocurrency utilizing zero knowledge proofs via the Zerocoin protocol for anonymous transactions of cryptocurrency utilizing the Lyra2z hashing algorithm. I was quite surprised to find out about this hidden little gem of a coin. I regularily use whattomine.com to find out about different coins to mine, typically sticking to the list presented at the front page, but ZCoin wasn't there. It wasn't until browsing different coins on suprnova's pool list that I found ZCoin.

Impressed with it's potential and current technology I set out to try mining it and was in for a pleasent surprise. Mining Profits Now lets dive into the profit potential, afterall that's what we're here for right? To benchmark the profits, I'm utilizing my combo workstation/mining rig with 2 1080 Tis, and a 1080. When utilizing these 3 GPUs with my machine solely mining and not being utilized for day-to-day purposes, I get just shy of 8000kH/s, and clock in at 7891kH/s. If we plug that into whattomine with a 1% donation rate, I'm getting a profit of $3578.37USD/year (roughly speaking). If we take my same 3 GPUs, and look at the current most profitable coin listed on whattomine.com's front page, I'm getting a profit of $2498.18USD/year! Just by switching algorithm's from the previous coin I was mining, netting an extra $1000USD/year from the same hardware! MonaCoin MONA Money Mining.

The potential here is amazing. ZCoin has good potential for long-term value growth, as well as immediate gains in profit create the perfect storm for some sweet sweet gains. I highly recommend checking out this algorithm and cryptocurrency as you won't be dissapointed by it's mining profit margins. If you found this post of use to you, an upvote, follow, and/or resteem would be greatly appreciated!

README.md CPUMiner-Multi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS A HACKED VERSION TO SUPPORT ZCOIN (XZC)'s Lyra2 variant - normal Lyra2 & Lyra2RE Algos DON'T WORK!!!! Use -a lyra2rev2 for XZC mining on pools like on This contains following optimizations by optiminer: • Some unnecessary computations and memory accesses removed.

• Code for AVX2 can be enabled by compiling with '-mavx2': $ CFLAGS='-O2 -mavx2'./configure && make clean && make • Memory prefetching can be enabled by compiling with '-mavx2': $ CFLAGS='-O2 -DROW_PREFETCH'./configure && make clean && make The different flags can also be combined. If you are building for your local CPU, use '-march=native' as well.

The hash algorithm is memory bandwith bound, therefore AVX2 / prefetching will not have a big impact on performance.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a multi-threaded CPU miner, fork of 's cpuminer (see AUTHORS for list of contributors).
