<h1>Chose CryptonightV7-Pool</h1>
<p>With the scripts provided on this site you can mine with the <strong>cryptonightV7-algorithm</strong>.
The cryptocurrency <a href="https://getmonero.org/">Monero</a> is
based on this algorithm, and it was forked beginning of 2018 from the
standard cryptonight-algorithm. This site focuses only on the
V7-variant of the algorithm because recently a ASIC for
standard-cryptonight was released which will soon push all CPU- and
GPU-miners out of this market (the purpose of the fork was to avoid
exactly this fate for Monero). </p>
<p>The anti-ASIC-stance means that Monero will stay decentralized, but
there are many more advantages to it. In fact, i think Monero is
better than bitcoin in virtually every aspect (i guess bitcoin beats
Monero only in popularity...).</p>
<p> <strong>To start mining you first have to choose a <a href="https://moneropools.com/">Monero-pool</a>.
</strong>Pay attention to the pool's rules:</p>
<h1>Chose Mining-Pool</h1>
<p>The scripts provided on this site support mining with two different
algorithms:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>CryptonightV7: </strong><a href="https://getmonero.org/">Monero</a>
(XMR) is based on this algorithm.</li>
<li><strong>Cryptonight-Heavy</strong>: <a href="https://www.sumokoin.org/">Sumokoin</a>
(SUMO) is based on this algorithm.</li>
</ul>
Other coins might also work if they are based on these algorithms (there
is an <a href="https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3129218.0">overview</a>
of possible coins at the bitcointalk-forum). The original
Cryptonight-algorithm is not supported: recently a ASIC for this
algorithm was released which made CPU-mining totally impractical. <br>
<p> <strong>To start mining you first have to choose a <a href="https://moneropools.com/">Monero-pool</a>
or a <a href="http://www.sumopools.com/">Sumokoin-pool</a>. </strong>Pay
attention to the pool's rules:</p>
