It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, DOGE, KAS mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
There is now an official release of the Dogecoin Core 1.8 available that adds AuxPow support required for the upcoming merged mining support with Litecoin and why not other Scrypt crypto currencies. Starting with block 371337 the Dogecoin network will accept AuxPoW blocks from miners of other chains, according to calculations this should happen around September 12th. This is a mandatory upgrade that you need to install if you wan to be able to continue using your wallet. Do note that after installing it you will have to reindex the blockchain, so it will take some time before the wallet balance appears again, also a wise idea to have a backup of the wallet.dat file before running the upgrade.

The Blake-256 based crypto currencies merged mining now has another new addition, the new coin is called Universal Molecule (UMO), bringing the total number of merged mined coins to 6 (including BlakeCoin). UMO is still pretty new coin, but it is already available for trade on an exchange and the previously released coins are also traded on multiple exchanges, so if you still haven’t tried merged mining for BLC + 5 other Blake-256 coins, then you might want to check things out. The merged mining of Blake-256 is not a good idea on Nvidia GPUs, even though there is a miner available, it is not that good performance wise, however the AMD GPU miner is working well.
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
– CudaMiner with Blake-256 support for Nvidia
– ccMiner with Blake-256 support for Nvidia

The efforts for BlakeCoin (BLC) and other Blake-256 based crypto currencies merged mining support has already made this the best merged mining option to mine – multiple stable pools, multiple bonus currencies that you get along with BLC and good support. You can already trade not only BlakeCoin, but all other 4 bonus currencies as they are available on various exchanges and actually have some decent value. And now you can even rent mining rigs for mining Blake. So if you still haven’t tried BlakeCoin mining you might want to give it a try, the network hashrate is not so big, so you are able to mine some coins even with not so much hashrate.
