Lithium (LIT) Added to BlakeCoin Merged Mining
5, Oct 2014
The Blake-256 based crypto currencies merged mining now has another new addition, the new coin is called Lithium (LIT), bringing the total number of merged mined coins to 7 (including BlakeCoin). LIT is still pretty new coin and is not yet available for trade on an exchange, but will most likely soon appear on exchanges that support other Blake-256 coins. If you still haven’t tried merged mining for BLC + 6 other Blake-256 coins, then you might want to check things out. Also we already have a new NOMP-based merged mining pool available as well as a ccMiner fork with Blake algorithm support since the last time we have covered merged mining for this crypto algorithm.
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
– ccMiner with Blake-256 support for Nvidia
– CudaMiner with Blake-256 support for Nvidia

PiMP or Portable Instant Mining Platform is a dedicated Linux-based mining distribution intended for GPU and ASIC mining without the need to rely on Windows. PiMP is designed to be easy to deploy and use, it can be installed on a USB flash drive, so you do not necessarily have to use a hard drive on your GPU mining rig, though you can install it on SSD or HDD as well. The latest version of PiPM is designed for AMD GPUs only as well as Scrypt ASIC miners such as Gridseed and ZeusMiner, and you can also use other popular SHA-256 ASIC miners. In terms of GPU support you can mine not only Scrypt (Already pointless for GPU mining), but also Scrypt-Jane, Scrypt-N, Quark, X11, X13, X15, Keccak, Skein, Groestl, Qubit, HEFTY1, JHA and NIST5. As you can see not all of the latest and GPU algorithms are yet supported, but the most commonly used and supported ones are available in the distribution.
And while the latest version of PiMP is still only available for AMD-based GPU mining rigs, there is already work being done for the addition of a version of the Linux mining distribution intended for miners using Nvidia-based GPUs (you can try the already available KopiemTu for Nvidia). There is also work being done on an ASIC only version designed for PCs as well as for Raspberry Pi controllers to be used as mining controllers for ASIC miners. So we are looking forward to seeing these versions as well and meanwhile you can check out the AMD/ASIC version that is already available. Here we are more of a Windows miners, however we do like to try out new things as well and check out Linux-based mining distributions like PiMP as well as use RPi as a mining controllers as well and we like what we are seeing so far with PiMP.

The Blake-256 based crypto currencies merged mining now has another new addition, the new coin is called Universal Molecule (UMO), bringing the total number of merged mined coins to 6 (including BlakeCoin). UMO is still pretty new coin, but it is already available for trade on an exchange and the previously released coins are also traded on multiple exchanges, so if you still haven’t tried merged mining for BLC + 5 other Blake-256 coins, then you might want to check things out. The merged mining of Blake-256 is not a good idea on Nvidia GPUs, even though there is a miner available, it is not that good performance wise, however the AMD GPU miner is working well.
