Title: Alternative cryptocurrencies mining
Post by: teo725 on September 01, 2017, 04:25:25 PM
Hi everyone!
 I want to start mining cryptocurrencies, I can't understand if I can mine more than one coin type with Antminer machines, for example if Antminer D3 could mine some other than Dash, or with L3 some other than Litecoin. Or if there is a special machine to mine more than one coin type, 
could you please advise me here?

Hi,

Mining devices like the Antminer are not Coin Specific, they are Algorithm specific.

This means that if you have an antminer to mine sha256 algorithm, you can mine any coin that uses the sha256 algorithm as PoW.

There are plenty of coins for each algorithm.
