HOdlcoin (HODL) Altcoin with CPU Only Mining, High Interest on Balance and Deposits

19, Mar 2016

HOdlcoin (HODL) is a relatively new experimental altcoin that can only be mined with the CPU for the moment using the coin’s wallet and although it is a PoW coin you get interest on your wallet balance and there is an option for deposit with even higher interest rate. The algorithm of the coin is made in a such way that early adopters holding their coins in the wallet get higher interest rates with the idea to attract more users resulting in a wider coin adoption for a shorter period of time. The regular interest rate is 5% APR, but with the extra bonuses and deposits the interest can grow exponentially. The deposits work in a way very similar to PoS, though there are some differences, your coins are locked for a period of your choice and the longer the deposit, the higher interest rate you get. To check the current interest rates and bonuses you can visit the HOdlcoin Interest Rate Calculator.

The coin uses 1GB AES Pattern Search Proof of Work algorithm that involves filling up RAM with pseudo-random data, and then conducting a search for the start location of an AES encrypted data pattern in that data. Pattern Search is an evolution of the ProtoShares Momentum PoW, first used in MemoryCoin and later modified for use in CryptoNight (Monero, Bytecoin), Ethash (Ethereum). For the moment you can only mine HODL coins with your CPU via the wallet, there is no separate miner available yet or a pool where you can mine the coin. This means that you will have to run a separate HOdlcoin wallet on every computer where you want to be able to mine the coin and since it is solo mining luck can also play big role in how much you might be able to mine.

Revisiting the Coin Magi (XMG) CPU-only Altcoin

28, Jan 2016

We haven’t paid a lot of attention lately to alternative crypto coins that are mined only with CPU with no GPU, FPGA or ASIC miners, so we’ve decided to check what is going on with Coin Magi (XMG) as we haven’t been following it actively the last few months. Coin Magi is a PoW and PoS coin that is currently being traded for a little over 2000 satoshi per coin, it is being traded on multiple altcoin exchanges including some of the largest ones, though the trade volume at the moment is pretty low and there are multiple pools where you can mine the coin if you do have some spare CPU power available and you are wondering what to mine.

Coin Magi (XMG) uses the M7M algorithm and besides CPU mining and staking coins you can also rent mining rigs at the Mining Rig Rentals service. Last year we have tested the most up to date miner available for XMG – the Wolf0 m7m v2 cpuminer on an Intel Core i7 5820k CPU and now we have retested again in order to compare it with a more recent release in the form of a dedicated m-minerd for XMG (source) that is based on Wolf0’s code. The 32-bit version is significantly slower, so we do recommend to go for the 64-bit miner for best performance, but interestingly enough we are getting slightly less performance for, the new miner. The advantage that the new m-minerd miner for the M7M algorithm has an option for that allows you to set the percentage of CPU usage you want the miner to take.

Intel Core i7 5820k (6C 12T) CPU:
– Wolf0 minerd 64-bit – 122 KHS
– m-minerd 32-bit – 64 KHS
– m-minerd 64-bit – 119 KHS

Coin Magi (XMG) 2nd Proof of Mining Campaign Launched

23, Apr 2015

coin-magi

Coin Magi (XMG), the altcoin you should be mining if you have some spare CPU power, has launched their 2nd Proof of Mining campaign. An incentive that tries to award with more coins people that do not have too much hashrate, but still want to get more out of their CPU mining power. The idea of this campaign is to encourage people to continue mining even if they have low hashrate or the block reward is not that high by giving them extra bonus coins – the longer you mine the higher the bonus will be. The 2nd PoM campaign will have a duration of about 2 months and you need to register to participate and use a special dedicated pool where you have to mine in order to get the extra reward apart from the mined XMG block rewards. Do note that the total hashrate you can mine with in order to participate int he campaign should not exceed 250 kh/s.
