Nervos CKB ASIC miners, New firmware for Antminer E3, Lucky days on Ethereum, Important information on Zclassic mining.

In mid-March, we wrote about a sudden increase in the hash rate of the Nervos CKB network. A ten-fold increase in just two weeks was noticed by all miners of the cryptocurrency. We suspected that ASICs by Bitmain launching in April were to blame for that. It turns out that another manufacturer, Todek, outplayed Bitmain, and its Toddminer C1 devices are already mining CKB. Let’s see how to set up this miner correctly.

Most of you have probably read books about the success of famous people like “Screw It, Let’s Do It” by Richard Branson or Steve Jobs’ biography. But most of them are just beautiful stories about the best and most successful people in the world. What about real people with their faults? Nobody writes about them. You have probably always wondered, whether mining is worth it. How much money can you make? What are the chances of losing money? Today you have a unique opportunity to read the story of a real miner with as much as $200,000 worth of hardware.

The 2Miners pool users have noticed an increase in the hash rate of the Nervos CKB network – that is, in the overall computing power of devices that mine this cryptocurrency. The increase is significant. On March 5, the hash rate was 198.32 Th/s, today it’s 1.99 Ph/s. A ten-fold increase means that there is a problem that is most likely caused by ASIC miners.

Bitcoin supply is limited – it is 21 million. No less, no more. So it is a pretty rare asset, especially considering that there are over 7 billion people on Earth. That’s why having even one Bitcoin is awesome. If the cryptocurrency grows in value, you would be able to buy an apartment in London, a premium Porsche car and a couple of Rolex watches. It seems like a promising goal! So let’s talk about how to earn one Bitcoin.

2Miners pool developers have come across the incompetence of other members of the mining industry. Bitforex exchange has accidentally lost coins of a pool miner and failed to find them. The dispute has dragged on for a while, but we have realized that dealing with this platform is a risky business. We would like to tell you what happened and how it all ended.

MOAC delisting, new 2CryptoCalc features, Ethereum ASIC’s news, Updated stratum protocols, 2Miners monitoring system revealed.

As you may know, 2Miners are a quite intensive operation: we have almost 40 pools, most of which are specialized software on dedicated physical servers located in three locations around the world.

We’ve received a lot of requests last week on Telegram Support Chat and 2Miners Helpdesk. Miners were reporting a sudden drop of Antminer E3 hashrate on Ethereum Classic (ETC) cryptocurrency mining pool. Ethereum (ETH) mining though was working fine. We have investigated this issue and the conclusions are disappointing.

Innosilicon A10 is one of the most powerful Ethash ASIC devices available. 2Miners miners are beginning to receive their A10 machines. We have updated our pools to support ASIC-compatible Stratum protocols as well as the native NiceHash protocol. This allows you to mine more efficiently using the NiceHash rented hashing power and ASICs such as Innosilicon A10.
