Copper Lark (CL) SHA-3 Keccak based cryptocoin

24, Feb 2014

copper-lark-alt-crypto

Copperlark (CL or CLR) is an alternative crypto currency that is a fork of Bitcoin. CL is based on one of the most advanced hash function standards called SHA-3 (Keccak). If compared to BTC, some significant changes have been done to basic system parameters when designing the Copperlark. Transaction speed has increased by reducing the block generation rate down to 4 minutes. The cryptocurrency history shows that the number of the system users can change explosively, so the total power of computing resources can increase correspondingly. Therefore, developers have designed the Copperlark algorithm in such a way so that the complexity recalculation is made for every 360 blocks, which equals to approx. 1 time a day, allowing the network to adapt quickly to any changes that may occur.

Pxlcoin (PXL) Scrypt based cryptocoin

23, Feb 2014

pxlcoin-alternative-crypto

PXLcoin (PXL) is another alternative Scrypt crypto coin, however here the algorithm being used by the coin is not the most interesting thing about it, in fact it is the least interesting one. The Million Dollar Homepage was created in 2005, where people could purchase pixels on the site for $1 and then upload an image and hyperlink. As people began buying up those pixels and uploading their images, the homepage was filled out and internet history was created.

PXLCoin official website contains a new canvass for the cryptocurrency community. Instead of charging “real” money, each pixel on the site can be purchased using PXLs. Upload whatever your imagination desires – your clan logo, pictures of your doge, a business logo or advertisement – whatever you want. And the image can also link to a web URL.

Skeincoin (SKC) Skein-SHA2 based cryptocoin

23, Feb 2014

skeincoin-alt-crypto

Skeincoin (SKC) is another alternative cryptographic currency that uses a different algorithm – the Skein hashing algorithm combined with SHA256 hashing as Proof of Work. Skeincoin hashing is fast and can be implemented for CPU, GPU, FGPA and ASIC. Note that the use of a specialized algorithm means that Skeincoin requires a specialized miner in order to be able to mine SKC.
