In the intricate world of cryptocurrency, not all algorithms are forged equal. The proof-of-work (PoW) consensus algorithms like Kheavyhash, Scrypt, Blake3, SHA-256, and Ethash are the linchpins that not only secure but also empower the blockchain with the integrity and trust that underpin several of today’s leading digital currencies. Understanding Proof-of-Work and Its Variants Proof-of-work […]

These Are the Most Profitable Proof-of-Work Algorithms Since Ethereum Moved to Proof-of-Stake

September 17, 2022 Bitcoin.com

ASIC Mining

Since the transition from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS), ethereum cannot be mined and miners are now dedicating hashrate to different PoW chains. Since ethereum can no longer be mined, the most profitable PoW consensus algorithms are Kadena, Scrypt, and Cuckatoo32. Five days ago, before The Merge, the consensus algorithm Ethash was the most profitable, […]

20 days ago, a poll was shared on Twitter asking miners where they planned to dedicate their hashrate, after The Merge transitions Ethereum into a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain. The proof-of-work (PoW) contenders at the time were tokens like ravencoin, ergo, flux, and ethereum classic. When the poll concluded, flux and ravencoin outpaced the pack in […]
