Mining algorithms

This is a list of the major cryptocurrencies with their key features and workes on different algorithms

Coins	Year	Ticker	Algorithm	Key characteristic
Bitcoin	2009	BTC	SHA-256	The flagman of digital currencies is recognized as one thousand and one pravaselect in the European Union
Ethereum	2015	ETH	Dagger-Hashimoto	The idea of creating the computing power to implement virtually any digital project
Steemit	2016		SHA-256	Multimedia content can be integrated with other web hosts
Ripple	2013		ECDSA	Currency created for banks to make faster and more secure transactions
DigiByte	2014			Designed to eliminate the weaknesses of Bitcoin & Litecoin
Monero	2014	XMR	CryptoNight	Designed for anonymous monetary transactions
Siacoin	2015		blake2b	The main idea of data storage
Litecoin	2011	LTC	Scrypt	Litecoin is a clone of Bitcoin with a faster transactions
Ethereum Classic	2015		Dagger-Hashimoto	This is the same Etherium, but developers have a conflict, and they divided coin, the price is much cheaper
Dogecoin	2013	DOGE	Scrypt	Completely copied algorithm with Litecoin with some modifications. Popularity due to large investments in advertising and symbol-a picture of the famous dog known and respected in narrow circles
NEM	2015		blockchain	There is a service of notarization and allows you to make instant payments and money transfers around the world without high commissions. All wallets are protected
Syscoin	2014		Scrypt	Has an unusual encryption algorithm and is focused on decentralized trade. Syscoin is not a cryptocurrency plus a platform – it is a platform built into a cryptocurrency.
Augur	2015		Smart contract	Augur uses power to predict financial markets
Dash	2014	DASH	X11	Virtually eliminate tracking of the sender. At the request of the user can not be used to tranzactii directly.
Hatch	2018		X11	Fork of Dash.
	2012	BCN	CryptoNight	Protect your money the most secure and advanced encryption algorithms. Them impossible to crack. The attempt of hacking would require huge amounts of expensive electricity and computing power of a supercomputer. You are the only one who can get access to your wallet. At least so say the developers
	2014		Scrypt	Позволяет вам получать оплату за фотографии, которые вы публикуете
	2016		LBRY	Using lbry users can create and share content such as music, movies, paintings, etc. In the process of downloading content the user may require a fee for access
	2015			The target is to use the blockchain to provide various 100% decentralized services
Decred	2015			In fact it is a hybrid proof-of-work proof-of-stake (PoW/PoS) consensus-based system that aims to balance between the PoW miners and PoS voters that would create a more robust concept of consensus
Einsteinium	2014		Scrypt	Just like kickstarter for science projects
	2013	GRC	BOINC	System that by combining computing power helps to solve problems in medicine, biology, mathematics, climatology, astrophysics and other Sciences
	2014		Lyra2RE	Positioning itself as the fork is fully protected from ASIC miners. Oppose monopolization of mining
	2014		CryptoNight	Anonymous cryptocurrency the next generation because the network code is always updated with minimal development costs and close to 0% Protocol errors
Potcoin	2014		Scrypt	Is a coiun of legal marijuana industry
Peercoin	2012	PPC	SHA-256	Is interesting in possibility of obtaining coins is not only mining graphics card, but also the generation of new coins with the coins already in the wallet
Namecoin	2011	NMC	SHA-256	The main use of Namecoin is a censorship resistant top level domain .bit, which is functionally similar to .com or .net domains, but does not depend on ICANN, the main governing body for domain names
	2014		NXT	The target – is to prove that the electronic currency can be a good class of investment assets.
	2015		Dagger-Hashimoto	The idea is to use the newest blockchain technology to create anything that can represent the community and the team, using a decentralized Autonomous organization with a self-design to keep it truly decentralized
	2014		X11	Currency based on the platform Ethereum and securely fixed amount of diamonds
FoldingCoin	2014			Uses your computer to simulate the process of protein folding in the human body. The results obtained in this study will be used for production and obtaining new medical preparations, methods of treatment and maybe with your help will be open new discoveries in medicine and research protein in particular, and for the treatment of deadly diseases
	2014		X13	If you use NAVTech and Tor you can protect your identity when making private purchases on the Internet.
	2014		Scrypt	The advantage of VIA is that the confirmation of intellectual property rights and the performance of services is accomplished through publication in the blockchain.
	2014		Scrypt	DNotes — peer-to-peer decentralized cryptocurrency transmitted over the Internet, which enables instant payments to anyone in the world. It quickly and safely with a minimum commission according to the developers
	2014			Vcash was designed as an innovative and promising. It prevents eavesdropping and censorship, promotes decentralized, energy-efficient and instant network transactions
