BiblePay (BBP) Will Adopt the RandomX Algorithm on March 24th

18, Mar 2020

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.

Lithium (LIT) Added to BlakeCoin Merged Mining

5, Oct 2014

The Blake-256 based crypto currencies merged mining now has another new addition, the new coin is called Lithium (LIT), bringing the total number of merged mined coins to 7 (including BlakeCoin). LIT is still pretty new coin and is not yet available for trade on an exchange, but will most likely soon appear on exchanges that support other Blake-256 coins. If you still haven’t tried merged mining for BLC + 6 other Blake-256 coins, then you might want to check things out. Also we already have a new NOMP-based merged mining pool available as well as a ccMiner fork with Blake algorithm support since the last time we have covered merged mining for this crypto algorithm.

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
– ccMiner with Blake-256 support for Nvidia
– CudaMiner with Blake-256 support for Nvidia

Time to Start with the DOGE and LTC Merged Mining

11, Sep 2014

litecoin-plus-dogecoin-merged-mining

We are expecting the merged mining support for Dogecoin and Litecoin that was announced to start after DOGE block 371337 to happen any moment now (less than 100 blocks remaining), so if you are currently mining Dogecoin you might want to move to a pool with merged mining support. You should be able to mine directly for Litecoin and also get Dogecoin additionally, however in order to be able to do that you will have to use a pool that has already implemented DOGE and LTC merged mining support. Do note that merged mining of DOGE can happen with other Scrypt coins as well and not only with LTC, so some pools may have enabled merged mining of Dogecoin with other Scrypt crypto coins. We have prepared a list of pools that have already announced that are ready with merged mining support and as soon as we move past the block that should act as a starting point of the support you should start getting paid in LTC and DOGE by just mining for Litecoin. You will still be able to separately mine only DOGE, however there is not going to be much point in that when you can get the same amount of DOGE extra while mining for LTC in a pool supporting merged mining. There are still not a lot of pools supporting AuxPow merged mining, but we’ll probably see some more adding support in the next few days…

Pools with LTC and DOGE merged mining:
– Coinotron
– Multipool.us
– Litecoinpool.org
– WeMineLTC

Do note that that the AuxPow or merged mining support comes with a hardfork for the DOGE, so you will need to update your wallet to continue using it after block 371337, so if you still haven’t updated to version 1.8 of the Dogecoin wallet than it is time to do the upgrade. Have in mind that the update will require you to reindex the blockchain and that can take some time to complete.
