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

6, May 2014

blake-256-blc-pho-merged-mining-pool

Blakecoin (BLC) and Photon (PHO) are two crypto currencies based on the Blake 256 algorithm and there are already two pools available where you can do merged mining of the two coins. The work on adding merged mining for Blake-256 algorithm coins has been going on for some time by the developer of the Blake-256 algorithm and it seems that he has finally been able to make things work properly.

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

Pools for Merged Mining of Blakecoin and Photon:
– http://eu3.blakecoin.com/
– http://ny2.blakecoin.com/
– http://la1.blakecoin.com/

Exchanges for trading Blakecoin and Photon:
– Atomic Trade

Do note that the merged mining pools listed above are still in beta and there could still be some small issues, though our initial testing has shown that they are running pretty well already. Hopefully the availability of merged mining pools will boost the popularity of the Blake-256 algorithm and the coins that use it such as Blakecoin as they are indeed interesting.

The latest beta version of cudaminer has support for the Blake-256 algorithm available, however there is still no official release available compiled for windows that has the new code with Blake algorithm support, so we have compiled it and provide it to you for download. So far the Blake-256 algorithm is only used by two crypto currencies – Blakecoin (BLC) and Photon (PHO), but the good news that if more come out you will be already ready to mine them with Nvidia GPUs as well. Note that the hashrate you will be getting mining Blake-256 crypto currencies will be in megahashes and not in the kilohashes range and that is pretty normal for this algorithm. Mining on AMD GPUs will still bring significantly higher performance than on Nvidia, but still you can mine on Nvidia as well.

New Crypto Currency Exchange that Tries to Build a Trading Community

21, Feb 2014

atomic-trade-crypto-currency-exchange

Atomic Trade is a relatively new and still not that big crypto currency exchange that has a bit different approach compared to other traditional crypto trading websites. Here you are stimulated to be active on the exchange in various ways and you get rewards for being an active member, including using the chat functionality of the exchange. And unlike other chats on crypto exchanges that are essentially trollboxes with not much of useful or helpful information, on Atomic Trade you can actually find some help and useful information from other members. You can even meet and talk with the exchange admin as well as some pool operators all while you are trading some crypto coins on the exchange itself.

The crypto currency exchange Atomic Trade does support trading of multiple currencies, including some newer and not so popular that you can hardly find on other decent exchanges. Among the standard BTC and LTC trading here you can also trade XPM, FTX, WDC, BLC, HBN, PXL, LOT, MED, FRK, SKC, UNO, VTC and ATP. We have discovered the Atomic Trade exchange while looking for good exchange for trading BlakeCoin (BLC) and since that we kind of liked it a lot and started trading other cryptos there as well. The ATP or Atomic Trade Points are the so called bonus points that you get while trading and generally being active on the exchange in various other ways, but the interesting thing with these is that aside from trading them on the exchange for BTC, while they are in your account balance they bring you profit from the trading fees collected by the exchange. So in a way the ATP are something like shares in the exchange that bring you dividends, and every 6 hours you get your bonus based on the amount of ATP you currently have in your balance. We really like the community that is forming at the Atomic Trade and would definitely recommend you to try it out, especially if you are trading alternative crypto coins such as BlakeCoin (BLC) among others.
