Coin spotlights:
NIMIQ:
- The Browser-based Blockchain - traditionally CPU only, but now GPU mining is now possible.
- what is nimiq: https://coincentral.com/what-is-nimiq/
- market/graph - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/nimiq/
- 20% ? WHAT? SushiPool has a static fee set to only 2% CPU / 20% GPU, which helps fund server infrastructure, future developments, giveaways and much more.GRIN:
- Miner Dev Teams (Bminer, Gminer) seem to be working hard on getting their software stable on this algo. Expect many miner updates to come.
- Early adopting miners are finding stability issues in the current miner versions when running on 12 GPU's.
- f2pool announcement re US and EU Grin pool ip addresses:-
- "Good news! We have launched our EU and US servers for Grin mining now!
- Recommended: grin31.f2pool.com:13654 US server: grin31-us.f2pool.com:13654 EU server: grin31-eu.f2pool.com:13654"
- Good to see Grin presence increasing, and it's only a few months old
