Title: What is the difference between X11 and X15 ? Post by: iam2good on March 03, 2017, 05:37:47 PM Hello,
Please What is the difference between X11 and X15 hashing Algorithm ? Title: Re: What is the difference between X11 and X15 ? Post by: Rockie1234 on March 03, 2017, 07:22:20 PM Are you sure you are talking about the right algorithm. X11 is a hashing algorithm, and one of the benefits is that CPUs (good ones!) can perform as well as GPUs. It also means that there are no ASICS for the X11 algorithm, making the distribution process easier. It was developed by Dash, although coins do use it. There are also problems, like the risk of botnet attacks in the future.
X15 doesn't exist, please explain what you mean. Title: Re: What is the difference between X11 and X15 ? Post by: xhomerx10 on March 04, 2017, 04:03:40 AM Actually X15 does exist.
X11 is a chained hashing algorithm made up of of 11 different algos (groestl, blake, keccak...hell if I remember them all) X13 builds on this by adding 2 more - fugue and something X14 builds on this even further by adding another algo - (I forget the name) X15 adds one more algo - whirlpool Here's an X15 coin - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=971382.0 There's even an X17 which (follow along) adds two more algos (which of course I forget) Title: Re: What is the difference between X11 and X15 ?

I won't repeat what xhimerx said, he is correct. CPU mining these algos has been dead on a CPUs for a couple of years and GPUs for a year, since the ASICs were released. Only X17 is not supported by ASICs. The bottom line is, whatever device you mine with, you have to use the correct algo for the coin or your shares will be rejected. |
