Slothcoin (SLOTH) SHA-3 Keccak cryptocoin

22, Mar 2014

slothcoin-crypto

Slothcoin (SLOTH) is a SHA-3 Keccak peer-2-peer cryptocurrency created for having fun and in the mean while revolutionizing currencies. It is based on the idea of Dogecoin and combined with some more advanced aspects like the SHA-3 encryption algorithm, which equals out the difference between Nvidia and AMD graphic cards and is more secure than SHA256-like encryption algorithms.

A total amount of 100,000,000,000 coins will be mined in the creation process, ensuring that there are enough coins for everyone and that Slothcoin will not become a comma-currency like Bitcoin. A block-time of 60 seconds ensures fast transactions while in the mean time reducing orphan rates that occur with block-times below 60 seconds. Kimoto’s gravity well is implemented to adjust the difficulty every 4 blocks, this will prevent multipools from taking advantage of low difficulty and ensures that the coin does not get stuck in a high difficulty scenario. And the big question is could this coin follow in the DOGEcoin steps?

Copper Lark (CL) SHA-3 Keccak based cryptocoin

24, Feb 2014

copper-lark-alt-crypto

Copperlark (CL or CLR) is an alternative crypto currency that is a fork of Bitcoin. CL is based on one of the most advanced hash function standards called SHA-3 (Keccak). If compared to BTC, some significant changes have been done to basic system parameters when designing the Copperlark. Transaction speed has increased by reducing the block generation rate down to 4 minutes. The cryptocurrency history shows that the number of the system users can change explosively, so the total power of computing resources can increase correspondingly. Therefore, developers have designed the Copperlark algorithm in such a way so that the complexity recalculation is made for every 360 blocks, which equals to approx. 1 time a day, allowing the network to adapt quickly to any changes that may occur.

Maxcoin (MAX) Keccak (SHA-3) based cryptocoin

8, Feb 2014

maxcoin-alternative-crypto

Maxcoin (MAX) is an alternative cryptocurrency disrupting the already rather disrupting crypto market. It does not use a typical SHA-256 algorithm, but instead relies on a different SHA-3 (Keccak) that makes it ASIC proof for now at least. You can mine it with either a CPU, though with GPU mining also available there will not be much point in using the CPU. You need to use a specialized mining client based on cgminer for GPU mining. Considering the fact that this is still very new crypto and it already has a few smaller exchanges supporting trades is a good sign for potential in this one.
