Title: OW1 ASIC Help
Post by: bjbitcoin on October 22, 2020, 02:49:57 PM
I have an ASIC that I would like to use.  It is the OW1 that is supposed to mine many algorithms.  Does anybody know how I can unlock this thing to mine other algos it supports?  Awesome Miner supports it, but haven't gotten that to unlock it yet

ASICs in itself is built in such a way that the hardware chips are coded with a specific algorithm to make them the most efficient of the lot.

OW1 ASIC Miner only supports x16R algorithm and there is no secret method to unlock any more algorithms. It can mine coins specific to x16R algorithm only.
