Scrypt coins – List of cryptocurrencies using scrypt hashing algorithm

coinguides — Mon, 11 Jan 2021 11:11:34 +0000

Out of the top 5 cryptocurrencies by market cap 3 are mineable coins. Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC). All three operate within the proof-of-work consensus mechanism. However they all use different hashing algorithms. Bitcoin uses SHA-256 hash function and Ethereum currently uses Ethash Proof of Work hashing algorithm. In the near future Ethereum will …

SHA-256 Hashing Algorithm – List of coins based on Bitcoin’s SHA256 algo

coinguides — Sat, 05 Dec 2020 07:27:49 +0000

Back when altcoins were trending we used to often list coins based on their hashing algorithm, specially for miners. It helps specific set of miners to choose and mine a particular coin based on its profitability. Now altcoin mining seems like a thing of a past. Particularly since they are no longer profitable for hobby …

Blake2b Algorithm – List of Blake (2b) coins, miners and its hashrate

coinguides — Wed, 08 Aug 2018 11:52:58 +0000

Back then GPU miners used to Dual mine Ethereum (Ethash) and Siacoin (Blake2b) using Claymore miner. It was a better option as it didn’t drop hashes nor it did increase much power. Moreover dual mining Ethereum and Siacoin was way more profitable than mining Ethereum alone. But that’s not the case anymore after the release …
