- <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>
