Cryptocurrency mining explained in plain words: mining software and hardware reviews
including ASIC and GPU. Expert opinion on cryptocurrency market and future crypto mining
outlook.
The end of the year is a very busy time for 2Miners. We are working on 2 new mining algorithms: CryptoNightV8 for Monero and MTP for ZCoin. In November we’ve added Personal Luck value for all the Solo mining pools. The Night Mode is now available at 2Miners website to help miners view the statistics better. This month we’ve also reconfigured our Ethereum nodes which let us reduce the Uncle rate twice.
Sometimes the reward for the found block can be lower than usual or there may be no reward at all. Are you interested in finding out why that happens? Then keep on reading, but make sure to read this article first.
Happy Halloween! While you are busy trick-or-treating we are revising all-new 2Miners things of October. Email notifications are finally working. Telegram monitoring bot @Pool2MinersBot has new features. BTG, ANON, ZEN, ZCL, BTCP, HUSH, MOAC minimum payouts were increased. ZCash was updated to Sapling protocol. Equihash 144.5 mining software was updated.
In September we’ve done a lot of work on improving the performance of our pool nodes for multiple coins including Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Bitcoin Gold, Metaverse (ETP) and other. New servers were placed around the World. We’ve started Anonymous Bitcoin (ANON) PPLNS and SOLO mining pools. New Telegram monitoring bot @Pool2MinersBot is now available.
ANON is a new ambitious project that was created to provide a new level of user privacy. The coin is only two weeks old, but the profitability of its masternodes is already quite surprising and it didn’t turn out to be a scam. So let’s see how to mine ANON using GPUs.
Last week Nvidia announced three new GPU models. GeForce RTX 20 Series is based on the Turing microarchitecture and features real-time ray tracing. With the release due in only three weeks and the price starting at $600, you may want to consider mining on graphics cards of the previous generation. Let’s see which coins are best to mine.
In the last couple of years, mining has grown from hobby-like activity to interesting and unique business opportunity. We see more and more business opening in the field of mining management, cloud mining, mining rigs hosting, and more. Therefore, it is not unusual that more and more mining clients and mining management software have appeared in the space.
In August we’ve done a lot of work establishing our servers all around the World. 2Miners pools are now available in Europe, USA, and Asia. We’ve started MOAC PPLNS and SOLO mining pools and we already got 20% of the network hashrate. Can you do 2Miners better? 2Miners Bounty program is open.
The cryptocurrency industry is developing very fast, one of the reasons are forks – new coins that emerge due to modifications of already existing coins. With all these new cryptocurrencies it is easy to miss something worthy, like the MOAC project. Let’s get into it.
