Supcoin (SUP) Pluck based Cryptocoin

20, Feb 2015

supcoin-logo

Supcoin (SUP) is a new alternative crypto currency that was just launched using a new algorithm called Pluck that is SHA256-based with more load on the memory and was supposed to initially be mined with CPU only, but we saw a very quick release of a ccMiner fork that added GPU mining support for Nvidia from djm34. The coin has a relatively small pre-mine that will mostly go for bounties and already has a few pools available for mining, though exchanges are not yet available. It is an interesting new project that you might want to check out and there is definitely an interest since you can already even rent hashrate from MiningRigRentals with the new Pluck algorithm. Betarigs has also apparently added the new algorithm, but there are no mining rigs available to rent there yet. So it is a project that you might want to check out as it might turn out to be an interesting alternative crypto coin.

Lyrabar (LYB) Lyra2RE based cryptocoin

16, Feb 2015

lyrabar-logo

Lyrabar (LYB) is a new alternative crypto currency using the Lyra2RE as a proof-of-work algorithm. It is an altcoin for hobbyists by hobbyists designed to be fair, successful, community-driven cryptocurrency. It does not come with big promises that will never be met, does not come with premine and is not traded on large exchanges from day 1, so the idea is to build an user community and slowly expand along the way. The coin can be mined using CPUs, or AMD and Nvidia GPUs and a VTC merged mining support should come at some point in the future. If you haven’t being interested in the altcoin launches lately like many of the “older” GPU miners that got tired of scam coins, then you might want to check out the Lyrabar (LYB), though there is nothing guaranteed here either.

Bitcrystals (BCY) alternative cryptocoin

16, Feb 2015

bitcrystals-logo

BitCrystals (BCY) are Counterparty digital assets acting as both the game-fuel and the premium in-game currency in Spells of Genesis. BitCrystals were issued in a limited supply of 100 000 000 units and 70% of the total supply was offered for sale during the BitCrystals Token Sale. BitCrystals can be traded on the blockchain or used to purchase blockchain-based cards, playable within Moonga and Spells of Genesis.

Spells of Genesis (SoG) is the first blockchain-based trading card game: its storyline and in-game economy are both based on blockchain technology. SoG combines the aspects of a trading card game and an arcade game. Collecting blockchain-based cards to build the strongest deck and fighting your enemies allows you to evolve in a fantastic, Moonga-based world. The Spells of Genesis story is a blockchain allegory. The cards, depicting important projects and personalities from the blockchain ecosystem, are digital assets, purchasable with BitCrystals or other cryptocurrencies.

Initially the supply of 100,000,000 BitCrystals to be used (burned) to create new card packs, game items or unlock special features in
Spells of Genesis. 70% were made available for purchase in the Token Sale and all BitCrystals left unsold will be burned at the beginning of October, 2015. 30% will be given to early supporters and contributors to the project as well as marketers, developers and the people who help the game grow in popularity. Some BitCrystals were sold to early investors prior to the Token Sale. The proceeds from the BitCrystals Token Sale will go towards the development of Gutenberg. Gutenberg (EverdreamSoft’s project code-name) is the platform which will burn BitCrystals in order to issue new card packs.
