The XMR-STAK-RX RandomX miner has been updated to version 1.0.5 bringing support for two crypto projects that use a variation of the RandomX CPU mining algorithm – Kevacoin (KEVA) and Safex Cash (SFX). Kevacoin (KEVA) uses the RandomKEVA and Safex Cash (SFX) uses the RandomSFX algorithms respectively, though both are based on the RandomX algorithm as a base and are doing better performance wise on recent AMD Ryzen CPUs than on Intel processors. Alternative miners with support for RandomX and…

It seems that there is a Ravencoin Classic (RVC) fork off the Ravencoin (RVN) blockchain that has happened along the last RVN hardfork when the new KAWPOW algorithm has been adopted by Ravencoin. The thing that differentiates RVC from RVN is the fact that the Ravencoin Classic retains the original X16R mining algorithm that has been introduced with the launch of RVN. The idea to fork from X16R to X16Rv2 and then to the KOWPOW algorithm for Ravencoin is to keep RVN GPU mining friendly and to…
