SPECIFICATIONS

  • Scrypt-N Algorithm, merge-mineable on the VTC chain
  • Block time: 2 minutes
  • Retarget: Every 12 blocks using BRNDF. Starting difficulty 2.0
  • Block reward: 25 MON per block, then decreasing by approximately 3% every 10080 blocks (2 weeks). First 1000 blocks ramp up gradually from 1 MON to full block reward. After block 1,468,415 (approximately 5 years and 7 months) only fees will be mined.

Merged Mining of Blakecoin (BLC) and Photon (PHO) Now Available

6, May 2014

blake-256-blc-pho-merged-mining-pool

Blakecoin (BLC) and Photon (PHO) are two crypto currencies based on the Blake 256 algorithm and there are already two pools available where you can do merged mining of the two coins. The work on adding merged mining for Blake-256 algorithm coins has been going on for some time by the developer of the Blake-256 algorithm and it seems that he has finally been able to make things work properly.

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

Pools for Merged Mining of Blakecoin and Photon:

– http://ny2.blakecoin.com/
– http://la1.blakecoin.com/

Exchanges for trading Blakecoin and Photon:
– Atomic Trade

Do note that the merged mining pools listed above are still in beta and there could still be some small issues, though our initial testing has shown that they are running pretty well already. Hopefully the availability of merged mining pools will boost the popularity of the Blake-256 algorithm and the coins that use it such as Blakecoin as they are indeed interesting.

fusioncoin-crypto

FusionCoin (FSC) is a P2P Crypto Currency with a hybrid proof of work(PoW) system. FusionCoin supports two hashing algorithm: SHA-256 and Scrypt, respectively used for the well-known BitCoin and LiteCoin. Each algorithm has its seperate difficulty, both targetting 4 minutes. Like Namecoin and other altercoins, FusionCoin can be merged mined with either BitCoin or Litecoin based altercoins.
