Placeholders (PHL) – A New X16R Crypto for Decentralized Marketplace for Distributed Computing Resources

18, Dec 2018

There is a relatively new ambitious project called Placeholders (PHL) that is aiming to create a Decentralized Marketplace for Distributed Computing Resources to serve as an alternative to Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services. Placeholders’ blockchain utilizes the so called “artifacts” as placeholders, which is custom data stored in the blockchain to enable complex computing operations. These complex computing operations will be provided by Placeholders wallet users who rent their local computing resources (CPU/Hard-drive/RAM) to buyers who are willing to pay in PHL for the resources to be utilized as a virtual private server (VPS) in the cloud. Do note that as usual with new projects that do not yet have a full working platform for what they are promising to be delivered there is a risk involved!

Placeholders is a work in progress that seems to be forked from Ravencoin (RVN) using the same algorithm for mining the PHL coins that will be used by the project’s decentralized marketplace for payment for the distributed computing resources, though it seems that a different algorithm was used for a while before forking to X16R. The project has just recently been started, so the full functionality for the platform is far from ready, though it does seem promising if the team manages to implement their plans in reality. The block reward for mining is 5 PHL, decreasing emission over time to limit inflation, halving after first 90 days and then the emissions will be reduced every 90 days at decreasing rate throughout the future of the blockchain. The maximum supply for the Placeholders is 10,500,000 PHL with no pre-mine, dev-fee or something like that and the coin is already listed on an exchange for people not interested in following the project development over time, but just want to be mining and selling the coins. If you are looking or an exchange for trading PHL coins, then you can try Crex and qTrade.

New z-enemy 1.27 Nvidia GPU Miner With Improved Performance

9, Dec 2018

The latest update of the z-enemy 1.27 Nvidia GPU miner comes with some more performance optimizations in a number of the supported crypto algorithms with tweaks targeted at Nvidia GTX 10×0 GPUs. You can expect to see performance improvements of up to +3-4% for X16r and X16s as well as for HEX, up to +6-8% for Bitcoin Diamond (BCD), up to 1-3% on others like X17, Bitcore, C11, Sonoa, etc… on GTX 10×0 cards. So if using any of the supported algorithms by the z-enemy miner at the moment you should definitely upgrade your version to 1.27 to get a bit of extra performance boost.

The latest z-enemy version 1.27 is available for CUDA 9.1, 9.2 and 10.0 for 64-bit Windows versions as well as CUDA 9.0, CUDA 9.1, CUDA 9.2 and CUDA 10 binaries for Linux (HiveOS, PiMP OS, EthOS & Ubuntu). Make sure that you have the respective recent video driver version installed for the CUDA version you want to use – 388+ for 9.1, 397+ for 9.2 and 411+ for CUDA 10.0, though 415+ is advised for the best performance. We remind you that z-enemy is a closed source miner available only as a binary release and it contains a 1% developer fee built-in to support further software development.

New z-enemy 1.26 Nvidia GPU Miner With Improved Performance

3, Dec 2018

The latest z-enemy 1.26 Nvidia GPU miner comes with additional performance boost in a number of the supported crypto algorithms as well as improved stability. We should note that the latest version also marks the removal of support for the Renesis algorithm, apparently due to the project introducing this algorithm getting abandoned. The new version adds up to +5-7% for X16r and X16s, +7% for Bitcore, few percent for other algorithms such as X17, C11, Aergo … on GTX 10×0 cards. The Hex algorithm gets +10% for GTX 10×0 cards and +2% for RTX 20×0 GPUs as a hashrate boost.

The latest z-enemy version 1.26 is available for CUDA 9.1, 9.2 and 10.0 for 64-bit Windows versions as well as CUDA 9.0, CUDA 9.1, CUDA 9.2 and CUDA 10 binaries for Linux (HiveOS, PiMP OS, EthOS & Ubuntu). Make sure that you have the respective recent video driver version installed for the CUDA version you want to use – 388+ for 9.1, 397+ for 9.2 and 411+ for CUDA 10.0, though 415+ is advised for the best performance.
