Re: Request CPU ALGO GhostRider for Raptoreum Mining

I wouldn't mind being able to mine Raptorium but I am concerned that it would require quite a lot of miners to get a hashrate that comes even close to being worth it. According to miningpoolstats.stream, 80% of the network hashrate for Raptoreum is controlled by two pools so to have a shot at finding a block we would need at least 300+kh/s. That doesn't sound like much but the GhostRider algo is way harder to calculate than RandomX so it will take a lot of CPUs.

Personally I'd be more in favor of adding Verushash (which is so lightweight my i7-6700k@4.7GHz does 6.4Mh/s!) or yespower. It would also be kinda fun to add RX2 and just effortlessly topple Zergpool as the undisputed king of Luxcoin mining. :lol:

I would love to have this and would move the 100 CPU cores I have on suprnova.cc over to Prohashing if it were added. I moved most of the Monero mining I was doing on Prohashing over to Raptoreum on Suprnova about a month ago and I'd love to bring them back.

CPU mining is becoming more popular -- a lot of new coins are choosing CPU algorithms since good GPUs are so hard to get ahold of and it opens mining to a wider audience.

I'd also love to see the MinotaurX CPU algorithm, which LCC uses and RavencoinLite/RVL (now Avian/AVN) will be switching to soon.
