Merged Mining of Blakecoin (BLC), Photon (PHO) and BlakeBitcoin Now Available

13, May 2014

blakecoin-merged-mining-pool

Just a few days since Blakecoin and Photon crypto coins got merged mining support and now there is a third coin available as well – BlakeBitcoin, so you can now mine Blakecoin and get Photon and BlakeBitcoin as well. These coins all use the Blake-256 algorithm and need a specific miner with support for the algorithm, you can find the required software below. BlakeBitcoin is still a very new coin and there are still no exchanges, but BLC and PHO are already traded. Furthermore we are soon most likely going to see two more Blake-256 crypto coins added in the mix of merged mining cryptos along BlakeCoin, these are Dirac and Atom, so you should be able to mine for BLC and get 4 extra cryptos as bonus thanks to the merged mining support.

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

LTCRabbit Pool with X11 Crypto Mining and Direct Payouts in Litecoin

13, May 2014

ltcrabbit-mining-pool

As a long time and happy users of the LTC Rabbit mining pool we are happy to see that they have added support for X11 mining. The idea behind X11 mining support is pretty much the same as the pool’s idea for Litecoin mining – you mine X11-based crypt currencies such as DarkCoin and they get automatically exchanged for LTC and you are being payed in Litecoins. So people with GPUs that are moving away from Scrypt mining could consider mining X11 and still get payed in LTC as Litecoin mining is slowly moving to the ASIC mining domain and will continue to do so in the next months making it not so profitable to mine with GPUs anymore.

You are able to mine X11 at the pool by using the sgminer for DarkCoin on AMD-based GPUs as well as by using ccminer with X11 support that wwas recently released for mining with Nvidia-based GPUs. Currently we are seeing similar performance mining on AMD and Nvidia graphics cards, however we are soon expecting to see an updated for ccminer that will bring significant improvement to the hashrate we are currently getting on Nvidia. The most notable advantage of mining X11 is that the GPUs should be cooler and use less energy as compared to mining Scrypt for example, or at least we are seeing that on AMD GPUs. So now you have another interesting alternative available to mine no Scrypt-based crypto and still get payed in Litecoins.

Talkcoin (TAC) NIST5 based cryptocoin

9, May 2014

talkcoin-crypto-currency

Most people who learned about Bitcoin look at it as nothing more than a currency, but the reality is that it’s much more than that. At its core, Bitcoin is a new technology that allows everyone around the world to come to a consensus on who owns what without the use of a centralized third party. There are many different applications that can be built on top of this technology, and Bitcoin is only the first of many apps to come. Talkcoin uses the real innovation behind this protocol to create a new generation of cryptocurrency. Talkcoin is a new experience that will bring something new to the crypto world and beyond it. Talkcoin uses a specific algorithm called NIST5 and needs a special miner, currently the coin is mined with better hashrate on Nvidia GPUs than on AMD.
