cryptomining-blog-twitter

We have just set up an official twitter account for the blog where you will be able to keep track not only on what new is getting published here, but will also be able to get some additional useful information. Not to mention that our twitter followers will also get to read about things that may not get published here on the blog, as it is quite hard to cover absolutely everything in detail, but short updates in the form of tweets are fast and easy. So if you are using Twitter and like the blog, you might want to follow us there as well, and if still not using Twitter, then you may just have a good reason to start using it now.

– You can now follow cryptomining-blog.com on Twitter as well for quicker updates…

Updates on Mining of Blakecoin (BLC) + PHO + BBLC + XDQ + ELT

8, Jun 2014

blake-256-merged-mining

The efforts for BlakeCoin (BLC) and other Blake-256 based crypto currencies merged mining support has already made this the best merged mining option to mine – multiple stable pools, multiple bonus currencies that you get along with BLC and good support. You can already trade not only BlakeCoin, but all other 4 bonus currencies as they are available on various exchanges and actually have some decent value. And now you can even rent mining rigs for mining Blake. So if you still haven’t tried BlakeCoin mining you might want to give it a try, the network hashrate is not so big, so you are able to mine some coins even with not so much hashrate.

Blake-256 Algorithm GPU miners:
– Cgminer 3.7.2 with Blake-256 support for AMD
– Cgminer 3.1.1 with Blake-256 support for AMD
– CudaMiner with Blake-256 support for Nvidia
– ccMiner with Blake-256 support for Nvidia
