2Miners Crypto Mining Blog

Let’s see how to choose the right hardware and build a universal mining rig for the Dagger Hashimoto (Ethash) algorithm for such coins as Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Callisto, Metaverse, Expanse, Equihash 144.5 (Zhash) algorithm for Bitcoin Gold, Cockoo algorithm for Aeternity, Grin, Cortex, KAWPOW algorithm for RavenCoin, BeamHash for Beam and MTP for Firo (Zcoin). Unfortunately for rig owners, ASIC miners have killed the GPU mining of Equihash algorithm in 2018. The same story has happened with Nervos CKB recently.

Before getting to Hive OS, let me start with a short preface about Windows. When computers came into my life, there was MS-DOS. Then I remember how excited I was about OS/2 by IBM, but later came Windows and ruined it all for me, so I switched to Mac OS and forgot about Windows for a long time.

Everyone has probably heard about dual mining. Let’s talk about its advantages and drawbacks.

Bitcoin and Ethereum keep rising, as well as all other cryptocurrencies and the new wave of mining is coming. All of those, who did not become miners in 2017, will undoubtedly try their luck in 2018.

Mining nature is probabilistic. Is it possible to be luckier than others? Why mining is sometimes perceived as a game?

Just simple math. Not magic. Come in, sit down, let’s make some calculations together.

Let’s make it clear what mining is and how the mining pool works. We will try to explain it in a simple “For Dummies” way.

It’s Friday morning, and that means the weekend is coming. You would like to mine, but you don’t have any farms or ASIC, just your laptop and a lot of work. Sadness and misery. We have a solution!And not only one, but three! It will take five minutes of your time.

Let’s try to understand what network difficulty and hashrate are. I’m in Crypto World, literally, for three months. I’m still not going to claim that I have a super knowledge. It was challenging for me to understand the principles of the cryptocurrency networks, so I decided to share my perspective on them.
