Title: Does power draw change when switching coins?
Post by: davemanet on December 04, 2017, 04:35:44 AM
Hi All,

I'm currently mining Eth on Ethhash.

If I switch to Pirlcoin which is also on Ethhash, does the power draw change or does it remain the same?

Different algorithms have different characteristics and levels of optimization so each algo is different in a way (power draw, memory use, etc) but there should be no difference between Dagger-hashimoto (Ethhash) coins. Unless different epochs make a difference, I'm not sure.
