Dogethereum (DOGX), an Upcoming Unofficial DogeCoin (DOGE) Fork

20, Feb 2018

It seem that lately it is easier to just fork an established coin than to think of something new and original and try to realize your ideas, after all who refuses free money, right? The next in line is DOGE with an upcoming unofficial fork called Dogethereum (DOGX) that is apparently planned for the end of the year. Dogethereum (DOGX) as the name implies will be using the mining algorithm used by Ethereum – Ethash (Dagger-Hashimoto) and the owners of DOGE will receive the same amount of DOGEX coins after the fork as what they had in DOGE. There are not much details about the fork announced at the moment, besides some basic information and the intent to fork the coin, so it might as well not happen. We’ll have to wait and see, though we suspect there might be some other unofficial forks for DOGE incoming after this announcement to happen much sooner…

Genesis Mining Offering Ethereum Cloud Mining Again

11, Mar 2017

The cloud mining provider Geneis Mining has started offering Ethereum cloud mining contracts again after they were not available for a couple of months with the focus more on ZCash cloud mining with GPUs. The new mining contracts are available at a lower price and with an extended 2 Years period with no additional mining fees (everything is included in the price you pay for the hashrate). There is of course a clause in the contract saying that in case Ethereum switches to Proof of Stake (POS) before the contract period ends your hashrate will not disappear, but will instead be switched to the most profitable algorithm to mine at that point of time. Initially we expected to see Ethereum (ETH) switch to POS at some point this year, but this will most likely be delayed and no official date for the switch has been announced yet… and the interest and price of Ethereum has been going up lately once more.

You can currently get 1 MHS Ethereum cloud mining hashrate for $29.99 USD, 30 MHS for $869 USD of 100 MHS for $2799 USD as a preset packages or any custom hashrate in between with discounts for the more you purchase. The Ethereum cloud mining contracts are with a duration of 2 years and there is no maintenance fee, everything is included in the price you pay for the hashrate. You can also use our special discount code CryptoMiningBlog5 to get some extra discount and get even better price should you decide to purchase an Ethereum cloud mining contract from the company.

New Ethminer 0.9.41-genoil-1.1.6 pre-release Windows Binary

20, Jun 2016

ethminer-genoil-1-1-6-pre-nicehash-stratum

Time for a new Windows binary of the latest pre-release version of Genoil’s ethminer 0.9.41 fork 1.1.6 (source). This time the focus is the addition for support of Nicehash’s Ethereum stratum implementation with extranonce subscribe for optimum performance when mining altcoins based on the Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm such as Ethereum (ETH). The binary is compiled with CUDA 8.0, supports both Nvidia CUD and AMD OpenCL mining modes, and is a pre-release version for testing the newly implemented features, you should not expect hashrate increase, though this version should do well when used with NiceHash, so you are welcome to test the new feature and report any issues you encounter. We have already done some comparison on what to expect selling your DaggerHashimoto (Ethash) GPU hashrate at NiceHash with the current price and mining directly for Ethereum and then selling the Ether coins for BTC. The results are below and it seems that even with the current low exchange rate as compared to what it was some days ago before the DAO hack it is still more profitable to mine ETH directly and sell it for BTC.

120 MHS mining hashrate ~ 1 ETH per Day:
– Ethereum Mining – 0.0159 BTC/Day
– Nicehash DaggerHashimoto – 0.0128 BTC/Day
