Mining Algorithms
Proof-of-work algorithms behind the coins on CoinCalculators — how each one works, which coins use it, and what hardware mines it best.
KHeavyHash
Kaspa's proof-of-work algorithm, GPU-mineable and now also targeted by dedicated ASICs.
RandomX
Monero's CPU-friendly algorithm, purpose-built to resist ASICs and keep mining accessible on ordinary hardware.
Ethash
The memory-hard algorithm formerly used by Ethereum, still mined today on Ethereum Classic.
Autolykos2
Ergo's memory-hard algorithm, designed to favor GPUs over specialized ASIC hardware.
KawPow
Ravencoin's ProgPow-derived algorithm, built to run efficiently on consumer GPUs.
