[ANN][NIM] - Nimiq - The Browser Based Blockchain

[p3ppymon]

Mining with i7 6700HHQ 2.6GHz, about 30kH/s under Linux.

It seems that Nimiq algo is not Windows-friendly  hash rate drops to 20kH/s in Windows 10

Anyway, interesting project, seems that they have good community

The performances with a Windows miner are much lower with respect to the Linux ones. This has been there since the beginning with the release of the skypool miners. What miner are you using? Are you solo mining or pool?

I'm mining in skypool using skypool miner.

Code:

[I 15:35:07] Miner: hashrate 27.98 kH/s
[I 15:35:10] Miner: on pullBack, index 0, timeNonce36 49x, startNonce 934650
[I 15:35:12] Miner: mined a share, timeNonce36 49x, nonce 2418015382
[I 15:35:15] Miner: mined a share, timeNonce36 49x, nonce 2418104049
[I 15:35:17] Miner: hashrate 29.17 kH/s
[I 15:35:27] Miner: hashrate 29.81 kH/s
[I 15:35:37] Miner: hashrate 29.65 kH/s
[I 15:35:47] Miner: hashrate 29.19 kH/s
[I 15:35:57] Miner: hashrate 28.80 kH/s
[I 15:36:05] Miner: mined a share, timeNonce36 49x, nonce 3828699211
[I 15:36:07] Miner: hashrate 28.62 kH/s
[I 15:36:17] Miner: hashrate 29.21 kH/s
[I 15:36:27] Miner: hashrate 30.08 kH/s
[I 15:36:29] Miner: mined a share, timeNonce36 49x, nonce 3829395420
[I 15:36:31] Miner: mined a share, timeNonce36 49x, nonce 3829450313
[I 15:36:34] Miner: on pullBack, index 1, timeNonce36 49x, startNonce 448275
[I 15:36:37] Miner: hashrate 29.39 kH/s

I am sure this is a good and promising project. The ability to use our cryptography is what is lacking to achieve mass adoption. Hopefully, in the next few weeks, months or even years we will see the kind of global adoption that is required for a generation of changing technology.

My way of surviving 2014 was to give up on my 'portfolio', threw the paper wallets into the drawer and never looked at them again until 2017 😭😂

if big crypto investors and influencer understand that Nimiq is not NET we can break out of that vicious circle: Only very few miners at skypool can mine  for such a low price, bigger exchanges do not list the coin because skypool has much more than 50%, big investors buy mainly over bigger exchanges, no volume, price stays low, only very few miners

[carrotbanhkook]

Im in an other project where the dream was to get listed on binance, and it finally came true! the result in this bear market was to have the price drop by 70%. A new (popular) exchange wont make the price magically triple up. There isn't any new money coming in the market at the moment and people already involved either got their money locked in other coins or waiting for btc to do its thing.

No GPU mining for the moment I think. Only CPU mining.
However, GPU might be able to mine Nimiq too in a near future.

[Wekkel]

The Devs went at length to keep ASICS and GPU out of mining. So it would surprise me if GPU mining would suddenly find a way.

In fact, I just heard that some people were working on it. Sorry for giving potentially false informations.
I don't know tge algorithm in depth (I should maybe have a look into it), but yes it's made for CPUs. CPUs can do any algorithm, they're always okay. ASICs are made for one a'd only one algorithm, so there is no flexibility. GPUs are in the middle : less flexible than CPUs but way more than ASICs. So if making an ASIC miner for Nimiq seems really difficult, maybe making a GPU miner can be kess difficult. Really, O don't know this algorithm much, so I can't evaluate the possibilities.
La thing I wanted to say: I'm not talking about it as a good thing. I really like CPU mining, I'm pretty neural about GPU mining, and a little bit reserved about ASICs (but otherwise, pretty neutral too). But anyway, that's a big debate.

How to mining NIM on web browser

How to mining NIM on web browser

Can it be simpler? Did you at least have a look at the homepage of the official website? Because everything is there: you just need to go there and read what is written on the different buttons. I'm sure you will find.
Just a little précision, of course you need to have a wallet, so before you start mining you must go to "Safe" and create one. Otherwise, the mining page will ask you to do it and redirect you to this page.
Another little précision, I advise you to choose a pool. If not, you wouldn't be paid before a while.

Two equal Pc, same characteristics I7 7740 4.3 GHz but one runs with windows 10 while another with Linux debian; there are big differences in favor of the second.
Can someone explain why?
Are they reduced if I use a swimming pool? Which is the best?

[Wekkel]

The difference between mining on windows and linus is known. I do not think pool mining will make this any different because the mining will still be done on the local machine.

Perhaps the difference will decrease once the Devs have rewritten the Nimiq code to Ruby, but that is still far away.

Currently Nimiq is written in Javascript, right?
Why is it less efficient for mining?
You talk about rewriting all the code in Ruby, is it something they planned?
Thanks

There are rumours that the Nimiq team may be behind a hack + 51% attack against Webdollar, seen as a competitor in browser mining. Of course these are only rumors, but these things are now debated in the webdollar thread.

this is a serious accusation. but it is very hard to prove. being so early in the game there is room for more than 1 project out there. hadron is a similar one but is still in alpha stage, not yet released.

[Wekkel]

I cannot imagine that the Nimiq Team would risk their reputation by anonymously hacking a competitor chain instead of pointing out the vulnerability behind closed doors.

[BTC786]

Browser mining is much less efficient than CPU mining, and professional miners will not choose browser mining.

[aitorp6]

there is any exchange where I can buy Nimiq?
