Post Your Cryptonote Mining Pools in this ThreadI am Starting a CryptoNote Pool and Currency at some Point soon and I wanted to get all the info in one Place.
I Found this Post and it has the 2 Mining Pools I knew about for CryptoNotes, then it has the ones for just Monero, which I was never interested in Finding or using, but I thought I would put this info here for anyone that is Interested.
Then this Thread seems to be for the only surviving Thread related to a CryptoNote Mining Pool, all the Other Mining Pools don't exist anymore.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=472510.0So now I'll just share some History.
CryptoNote Coins are based on the CryptoNite Algorithm.
I was Reading Threads on Bitcointalk since the very Beginning, so I can tell You what happened.
1stThere was SHA, that was Bitcoin and it's Clones. You could just use a Laptop to Mine, then People started getting GPUs which is usually something that only People who Play Video Games Buy, because it Helps with Graphics and prevents Lagging during Gameplay, and so CPU and GPU actually was the way to Mine Bitcoin before, it would just be You on Your Laptop and You could get a Block and get the full 50 Bitcoin Reward (this was before all the Halving Events also, now a Block is like 12.5 or 6.25 or something instead of 50). Then ASICs were Invented that could Mine Bitcoin.
Put simply, Your Laptop has Processors, maybe it has 1 or 2 but usually a QuadCore even is Normal now, which means it has 4 Processors there are even 8 Core Laptops, etc. But these Processors are dedicated to all kinds of Things, Storage, and Internet access, etc. The ASIC would be connected, and it had maybe 12 Processors or more, something like that, and they were First made by Butterfly Labs and there was a Massive Backorder, like You had to wait a Year for it to come in the Mail, this was before the AntMiners and all of those were even Invented. They even had USB ones that came out, and now those aren't even any Good. Now, You have to Join a Mining Pool, or have a Mining Farm to even get 1 Block, You won't find a Block on Your own without having a Massive Hashrate (the Hashrate is the Rate at which Your Computer Processor is doing Things).
2ndThen came Litecoin, named this because at First there were no ASICs that could Mine it. Everyone could breathe again, they could Mine on their Laptops, they didn't have to wait for Backorders, and this was the First Time Bitcoin was Challenged, because People Wondered "Will Litecoin overthrow Bitcoin?", but then Bitcoin and Litecoin became Friends, and eventually even Litecoin was taken over by ASICs. Litecoin was not SHA, it was Scrypt (a new Algorithm) this is why it didn't have ASICs at First, they had to figure out how to make them Mine Litecoins.
3rdThen came FeatherCoin, CryptoNotes and Ethereum, I will Start with Ethereum because it gets back into the GPUs, Ethereum at most allows GPU Mining and it might have switched to Proof of Stake (PoS) but I am not sure, and all of this Mining stuff is what "Proof of Work" means, the "Work" in PoW is Mining, Processing. Then there was FeatherCoin which was Short-lived, because very quickly it was overthrown, and there was the First Proof of Stake which was "PeerCoin", etc. ETH is based on Dagger Hashimoto which is a New Algorithm, and thereby is different, and last I looked into it (Years ago) there was no ASIC that could Mine ETH. But also there was ByteCoin, the CryptoNote, which is the CryptoNite Algorithm, it is called the "CryptoNite" Algorithm, because like how Superman is weak when Kryptonite is around, the CryptoNite Algorithm does not allow for ASIC Mining. You HAVE to use a Laptop or Computer.
So that is the Benefit of using a CryptoNote, You can still Mine with Your Laptop.
If anyone knows of any CryptoNote Mining Pools let me know, even if they are Small, because I am making a CryptoNote Soon and am interested in Finding Pools that can accept it.
