NiceHash adds support for Grin!
Dear NiceHash users!
Grin, a private and lightweight mimblewimble blockchain coin, is now available to mine through NiceHash hash power marketplace.
Grin accepts 2 Proofs-of-Work. Both are variants of a concept called 'Cuckoo Cycle'. We are adding both algorithms to NiceHash hash power marketplace:
- CuckARoo29 (or ASIC Resistant) - intended to be mined by GPUs. It can be mined using a 6GB+ GPU.
- CuckAToo31 (or ASIC Targeted) - intended to be mined by ASICs in the future. It can also be mined using 11GB+ GPUs.
