Bits Be Trippin: PROGPOW Explained in under 4 min. & why it matters to GPU Miners

  • Thursday, 07 March 2019 20:12
With the pending change to PROGPOW, a lot of questions come up to what is it, how does it work, what makes it different and why would a coin change to it. In a past livestream I covered an explanation on what's going on with PROGPOW and how it leverages the entire GPU. This was the quickest I could explain in under 4min. A larger deep dive, if in order will be done in a proper tutorial style episode. FULL Results being compiled and will be posted on bitsbetrippin.io https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ezlD-K6wl6LsA7_dDQSqV7A_mpc6UanT4FZAJMIwGyM/edit PROGPOW Github https://github.com/ifdefelse/ProgPOW Change History 0.9.3 (proposed) - Reduce parameters PERIOD, CNT_MATH, and CNT_CACHE.
