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.
