Title: Am New in here.Does Any Antminer mining other coins? (XMR) Post by: BBOYdee on August 29, 2017, 10:22:30 AM Am looking for mining XMR. that Why i asking. Am waiting pls replay.. :)

Their current products include: Antminer S9 Algorithm SHA256 - Bitcoin Miner Antminer L3+ Algorithm Scrypt - Litecoin Miner Antminer D3 Algorithm X11 - DASH Miner Notice how every coin has a different Algorithm. XMR uses something different called cryptonite algorithm. The result is ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) miners only work on one type of algorithm. CPU and GPU mining on the other hand can be made to mine various algorithms with the right miner software, this is however extremely unprofitable for many coins with asic miners in the market. Simple answer : No Title: Re: Am New in here.Does Any Antminer mining other coins? (XMR) Post by: Dlugina23 on September 03, 2017, 04:55:40 AM Monero dont have ascic miner.

Title: Re: Am New in here.Does Any Antminer mining other coins? (XMR) Post by: QuintLeo on September 03, 2017, 08:46:08 PM Monero (XMR) is currently mined with both CPUs and GPUs.
There is no ASIC miner available for it at this time, and given it is a very memory-hard algorithm it is unlikely that an ASIC miner would perform a LOT better than existing GPU miners. The only algorithms that have Antminer ASIC available at this time are: SHA256 (Bitcoin etc) with the S9, T9, and R4 models (and older models like the S7, S5+, S5, etc) Scrypt (Litecoin etc) with the L3+ model (and the older L3) X11 (DASH etc) with the D3 If you want more info on the announced SIA ASIC, you should be asking the folks that announced it, not random users of this forum. |
