Verge (XVG) GUI Miner Beta is Up and Running

Published

on

Verge

With the latest rise in prices after a prolonged downtrend, Verge (XVG) has finally started to show some improvement gaining over 7% in the course of the last 24 hours.

After the talked-about semi-fiasco that came as a part of Verge/Brazzers/Pornhub love triangle, where XVG lost a great part of its popularity by not managing to prove to the community that MindGeek partnership that brought them to Pornhub in the first place, was actually worth 75 million XVG.

At last, a couple of days ago Verge currency shared a couple of announcements from their official Twitter account, announcing a potential deal for RSK integration as well as announcing the new GUI miner for mining XVG.

Verge Releases the Announced GUI Miner

Approximately a week after the original announcement that Verge is preparing to release a new friendly GUI miner that would improve the security as well as the efficiency of the mining process involving XVG, the new GUI miner was released to the public.

The official announcement that confirmed the final release of the miner beta version came on June 25th, not long after the user-friendly miner was announced.

Verge seems to be literally on the verge of making something out of what they have since it seems to be turning out that Pornhub partnership wasn’t as welcomes into the community as expected. At least not welcomed at the price it came as a partner to Verge community.

So, this GUI miner might be just the right thing to provide the needed push to XVG.

The new miner was released for Windows operative system while the OS version is still to come out. GridcoreGFX was the main supporter as well as the developer of the newly released miner, also making a strong supporter of XVG.

Upon the release, there was already a crowd of XVG miners waiting to try out the latest miner for mining XVG, so you can see that the newly added thread on  Reddit as a support for this topic was pretty trending.

While some of the Redditors complained about not having the miner made open source, other Redditors complied stating that having this miner open source would make it vulnerable with attackers, explaining the reason why the new GUI miner was not made to be open source.

In the meanwhile, the reviewers of the newly released miner for XVG described the miner in their feedback as pretty smooth and easy to use in the domain of the interface, which was obviously designed with a purpose of being user-friendly while providing a smooth experience.

The new miner enables XVG miners to choose an algorithm of choice prior to starting a mining session, alongside with providing an ecosystem for miners that doesn’t require many setups, that way making it simple.

However, it is said that although the new GUI miner has as little setup as possible alongside with user-friendly interface, it still has flaws in terms of sometimes losing hash power as well as not providing thread options.

Balancing sides between occasional unavailability of mining serves and providing users with easy-to-use tools for mining the new XVG miner still makes up for a solid miners’ bay.

Verge has also had many issues with hack attacks, with the last one taking place not that long ago while taking away 35 million XVG units, which probably shook the trust of investors they have had placed in Verge currency.

By creating a more secure environment for miners, XVG might get a solid chance of increasing the level of security, that way preventing attacks in the future.

Verge (XVG) Performance

The market showed a strong sign of recovery on June 25th, when the majority of currencies started to go up with Verge taking over 6% against the dollar. The date also marked the official release of the XVG new GUI miner, introducing XVG to another benevolent day in the market.

More than 90% of the currencies are going up today as well, however in a more modest manner while barely going over 1% against the dollar.

In the last 24 hours, XVG went up by 1.97% while being traded at the price of 0.023$.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //

Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.

Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.

The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.

NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…

Should Crypto Projects Devote Resources to Community Growth and Marketing?

Published

on

2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for.  While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory.  When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion.  But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.

I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness.  Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion.  Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special.  Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.

Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology

It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.  Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different.  Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…

He also added “This does not mean we will prohibit other types of NFTs from our ecosystem However, it simply means that XENO’s efforts as a company will be targeted into these verticals initially as a cohesive business approach.”

Development and Procurement Lead, Gabby Dizon explained, “Despite our initial focus, we found ourselves with a unique opportunity to host some of the works of Mr. Hiro Yamagata. We are collaborating with Japanese artist Hiro Yamagata to enshrine some of his artwork into NFTs.”
