CryptoEscudo (CESC) is a Portuguese cryptocoin for the 21st century. As some of you may know, Portugal has been struggling with a serious debt crisis over the last years. Portugal is one of the European countries still under international financial assistance. CryptoEscudo’s idea is not political. CryptoEscudo;s idea is simply a technical solution emerged from the world of the cryptoeconomy. Considering the financial problems we nowadays face in our country, so how about this: “Let’s make our new money. Created by everyone and for everyone.”

AMD GPU owners mining for Heavycoin (HVC) can finally be happy with the latest performance optimization of the cgminer with HVC support as it takes back the lead in terms of performance from the Nvidia GPU miners. The new update adds almost 4 more MHS of performance on a Radeon R9 280x GPU with us getting about 12.8 MHS with the previous update and now with the new one we are up to about 16.2 MHS with the same hardware and settings. The new updated version that you can download from the link below for windows (source) includes the performance update and we recommend you to update now in order to benefit from the performance boost. And no, this is not a joke, but actual performance increase for free.
