The BiblePay (BBP) project has announced they are going to be switching to the RandomX algorithm on March 24th, 2020, at block 184675. What is interesting here however is not only the switch to RandomX for PoW CPU mining, but the fact that the coin will support Dual Mining along with Monero (XMR), it is called BBP Dual Hash Mining and is in fact closer to merged mining. In theory, you will receive approximately 190% revenue for mining (more specifically, 90% in XMR rewards, and 100% of your hashpower in BBP rewards). Each RandomX hash has a full 100% chance of solving a BBP block (or a pool share), while each RandomX hash still has an equal chance of solving an XMR share.
There is a custom miner XMRig-BBP, based on XMRig, that you need to use in order to be able to take advantage of the BBP Dual Hash Mining feature and there is a new RandomX pool that will come on-line approximately 1 day before the fork goes live, the address will be: rx.biblepay.org. It definitely sounds interesting, though until the new pool reaches significant total hashrate it will be hard hitting Monero blocks often and that can really bring lower initial results. Still a novel idea and something different than just another hardfork to switch to RandomX as a mining algorithm. BiblePay (BBP) coins can be traded on the TOKOK crypto exchange.

The latest Bminer 15.5.0 comes with another interesting dual-mining feature that has attracted our attention, namely dual-mining Ethereum (ETH) and VeriBlock (VBK), meaning that you can mine any Ethash coin together with the vBlake2 algorithm used by VBK. The new version also comes with improved performance of the Cuckatoo31 algorithm and added parameter -version to output the current miner version and exit.
What we were most interested in the new version was the support for VBK (no standalone support for the algorithm yet), so only dual mining Ethash and VBK for now. We wanted to see what performance we can expect in this dual mode from VBK as we already know what to expect regarding Ethash hashrate. Unfortunately it seems that VBK support really does need some more work as the miner is somewhat unstable when dual mining and crashes from time to time and results are also erratic. With OhGodAnETHlargementPill running we were not getting any accepted shares for VBK, only stales, and with the Pill software not running it seems that VBlake2 shares are properly submitted. It is hard to understand however what is the exact hashrate for each of the two algorithms when dual mining, so more work is required on that new feature apparently.
We remind you that that Bminer is a closed source Nvidia GPU miner available for Linux and Windows in the form of pre-compiled binaries and that there is a 2% development fee for Grin, Beam, Bytom (BTM), Equihash and Zhash coins, 0.65% for Ethash and 1.3% for dual mining Ethash and Blake.

The latest Bminer 15.4.0 comes with improved performance for Cuckaroo29 and Aeternity algorithms as well as improved compatibility on Windows. There is a new experimental flag --fast to improve the performance for Cuckaroo29 / Aeternity, but it might lead to instability on some systems, so give it a try to see if it helps on your mining rigs and if they are stable with it. Performance wise the latest Bminer is slightly faster than the hashrate provided by the latest GMiner 1.36 for Cuckaroo29 on the same mining rig with GTX 1080 Ti where we have tested and compared results.
