Monero’s planned upcoming hardfork to the new CryptoNight/CryptoNote V8 proof of work algorithm is going well and will just about a day left and miners already supporting the V8 algorithm people are getting ready to mine XMR. Even services such as MiningRigRentals where you can rent or lease mining rigs are already supporting the new V8 algorithm with rigs available. NiceHash however has also added support for V8, including support for their latest NiceHash Miner, so you can expect quite a lot of hashrate after the fork coming from the service.

The SUQA project that we recently introduced is continuing to gain more interest from users and its X22i algorithm has just been added to MRR. The good news for miners is that X22i is still too new and not big enough to catch the interest of NiceHash, though if things continue this way it will happen sooner or later. Anyway, SUQA is developing nicely with network hashrate growing as more users join the mining process and the project is progressing well on their announced roadmap, even though there is still some skepticism surrounding the 10% developer fee from each mined block.

You can check the MiningRigRentals service for more details on available algorithms and rigs…

The X16R crypto algorithm introduced by RavenCoin (RVN) is getting more widely supported now that NiceHash has added support for users to sell and purchase X16R mining hashrate. Along with the support on the website for X16R the Excavator Nvidia GPU miner software developed by the service and also a part of their NiceHash Miner software also got support for the X16R algorithm. Apart for the new support of the X16R crypto algorithm, the Excavator miner also supports the following algorithms on more recent Nvidia GPUs: equihash, pascal, decred, sia, lbry, blake2s, daggerhashimoto, lyra2rev2, keccak, neoscrypt, cryptonightV7 and lyra2z as well as three dual mining modes: daggerhashimoto_decred, daggerhashimoto_sia and daggerhashimoto_pascal. Do note that the Excavator miner is a closed source miner available as a binary for Windows and Linux…

NiceHash has just announced the support and availability of the CryptoNightHeavy and Lyra2z algorithms on their platform. The new algorithms are showing that there is high interest in term of hashrate for crypto coins such as Sumokoin (SUMO), Haven (XHV) and Loki (LOKI) that use the CryptoNightHeavy mining algorithm as well as Zcoin (XZC) and GINcoin (GIN) that rely on Lyra2z, though there are other coins that use these two algorithms as well. So for users that need more hashrate to mine any of these coins or others that use the two newly added algorithms the marketplace is now open, the same goes for people that just want to sell their hashrate and get paid directly in Bitcoin (BTC) that can also take advantage from the new NiceHash support for CryptoNightHeavy and Lyra2z. On a side note, new crypto coin launches using either of these algorithms may now also be hammered with huge hashrates right from their launch if there are users renting big amounts of CryptoNightHeavy or Lyra2z hashpower, so have that in mind as well if you are always on the lookout for new coin launches.
