Blake2b: Siacoin miners in FARMGOD

Blake2b is the algorithm Siacoin is mined with. FARMGOD supports Goldshell's HS5, SC5 Pro II and SC6 SE.

Blake2b is a fast hash function. In mining it is best known as the algorithm of Siacoin, and Goldshell builds the machines for it.

Supported miners

  • Goldshell HS5
  • Goldshell SC5 Pro II
  • Goldshell SC6 SE

What FARMGOD does with it

  • Its own units. Hashrate and efficiency are shown the way Blake2b is measured.
  • Its own place on the overview. Blake2b has its own hashrate and miner count in the header, and its own line in the fleet chart.
  • Its own economics. Rewards and costs are worked out for Blake2b on its own, not mixed into the Bitcoin numbers.
  • Its own pools. Pool settings are kept per algorithm, for the whole fleet or a single Device-Set.
  • Sleep, wake and curtailment on the HS5.
