The CLORE AI platform is trying to build a distributed supercomputer where regular users can offer their computational power and get paid in BTC for the use of their hardware as well as being rewarded with CLORE coins. The project runs a marketplace that can offer computational power from distributed network of providers all around the world at unbeatable prices and you can join in with your hardware as well as long as you have an Nvidia GPU-equipped computer. There is also the CLORE Blockchain where CLORE coins can be mined using the KAWPOW algorithm (the same one used by RavenCoin – RVN) that are a part of the project’s ecosystem.
The CLORE Blockchain has total supply of 1,300,000,000 coins with the block reward decreasing a little bit with every new block (starting at 542 coins per block and currently around 527 at block 64000), the block time is 1 minute. Do note however that the block reward is being split at 50% for the GPU miners, 40% as rewards for the hosting providers and 10% as developer fee to be used for the growth of the platform. CLORE AI already has a fully functional GPU compute marketplace, that can be used for any workload that runs on Linux, basically any AI workload, rendering, transcoding, password recovery etc.
There are already more than 10 mining pools supporting CLORE mining with the largest in terms of hashrate being rplant.xyz, newpool.pw and fastpool.xyz. CLORE is already available for trading on Exbitron and TxBit along with some smaller ones as well. You can mine with any of the GPU miners that have support for the KAWPOW algorithm such as GMiner, T-Rex, WildRig Multi, NBMiner etc. depending on your mining hardware you can choose what performs best in terms of hashrate. KAWPOW is both a GPU and memory intensive algorithm, so a higher power usage is to be expected from the GPUs for best performance unlike some other GPU only or memory only intensive algorithms where you may optimize power usage.

According to the mining statistics provided by Hive OS network based on the users of their platform Kaspa (KAS) is the second most popular coin mined with already more than 50% of the Ethereum Classic (ETC) miners and the third spot is for RavenCoin (RVN) with around 30% of the miners of ETC. The comparison here is a bit unfair as there are ASIC miners available, though most Ethash/ETChash ASICs are not supported by HiveOS, so the stats is based mostly on GPU miners. Although ETC is still with very strong position for GPU miners partly thanks to the dual mining with Zilliqa (ZIL), its position for the top mineable GPU crypto coin is slowly been overtaken by other coins such the newcomer KAS or the more established RVN. Kaspa (KAS) can also be dual-mined with ZIL already for some additional extra profit and it will probably not be long until we see other coins such as RVN also getting dual-mining with ZIL as well.
The mining statistics also reveals some other interesting things such as Radeon RX 570 and RX 580 being the most popular AMD mining GPUs and GeForce RTX 3070 and GTX 1660 Super being the most popular Nvidia GPUs. As far as ASIC miners are considered, we see the top taken by the Antminer L3+ Scrypt miner as it is more profitable than the still very popular Antminer S9 SHA256 ASIC miner for Bitcoin. Though you should note that both top positions are with the Hiveon firmware installed that brings a lot of extra options for tweaking the miners for much better efficiency compared to the stock settings. Not to mention that the L3+ and the S9 are lately getting used a lot in DIY projects for home heaters that also mine crypto to pay for some of the electricity bills.
As far as the most popular mining software used on the platform, it seems that the leader is currently lolMiner, probably because it is the best performing and feature rich KAS miner out there at the moment, followed by Teamredminer and Nbminer on third place. Most Kaspa (KAS) miners are currently sticking to lolMiner, though GMiner is getting there performance wise and lately kind of leading feature wise with the addition of dual-mining KAS with ZIL. ETC miners still use a variety of miners that are based more on personal preference as there are a lot of options for mining ETC with very similar performance and the same goes for RVN as well.

With its major release version 2 the popular AMD GPU miner SRBMiner-MULTI has introduced support for Nvidia GPUs as well, so now you can mine some of the latest algorithms getting introduced to the miner not only with AMD-based video cards but with Nvidia video cards as well. The miner supports setting GPU clock (--gpu-cclock) and memory clock (--gpu-mclock) on Nvidia GPUs as well as power limit (--gpu-plimit) via command line parameters. There is not yet support for GPU clock offset in order to fully optimize power usage for mining GPU-intensive crypto coins that can benefit from lower power mining, but hopefully that feature will also be introduced soon.
SRBMiner-MULTI also does support dual-mining for Ethash/Etchash or Autolykos2 memory intensive algorithms along with GPU-intensive algorithms such as Kaspa’s kHeavyHash algorithm… single mining for KAS is also supported of course. So, if you were not paying an attention to the miner as it was AMD-only, now you don’t have a reason to ignore it anymore if you do own Nvidia GPUs. Performance wise however KAS mining on Nvidia is lagging behind other better performing miners such as lolMiner or GMiner – around 520 MH/s on RTX 3070 for SRBMiner-MULTI compared to about 600 MH/s with lolMiner and GMiner with the same settings. Other algorithms might be able to perform better though, so you might want to check and confirm. We still haven’t had the chance to test and compare performance of the SRBMiner-MULTI on Nvidia GPUs on most algorithms and since support is brand new it might take a bit of time to be further optimized.
