We got our hands on a Bitmain Antminer X3 CryptoNight ASIC miner for a few days and have decided to give this soon-to-be or already way too expensive paperweight a quick test to see what you can expect from the device as they have been shipping for a week or two already to customers. The…

So slightly faster…

The latest version of the mienr comes with support for all kinfs of CryptoNight coins such as…

Silent Miner is a new fork of ccminer for mining Ravencoin’s (RVN) X16r algorithm that tries to compete with the fastest z-enemy miner in terms of performance. Previous versions of the Silent Miner were a bit slower compared to the latest z-enemy 1.08, but the latest updates might indeed bring the performance to a very…

Cryptoisme is a free service offering quick and easy to use mining calculators for multiple algorithms – CryptoNight, Ethash and X11, but we are mostly interested in the CryptoNight part that is probably also most interesting for you. The calculator tracks multiple crypto coins and ranks them by profitability based on your hashrate alone. Do…
