EtHash is a modified version of the Ethash algorithm, specifically designed for mining Ethereum Classic (ETC) and other Ethash-based coins. EtHash differs from the original Ethash with minor changes to its memory requirements and optimizations for operation on ASIC mining hardware. EtHash remains a memory-intensive algorithm, meaning ASIC miners are specifically designed for this algorithm to deliver high hash rates with low energy consumption.
Features of EtHash mining:
✅ Memory intensive – Like Ethash, EtHash requires a large amount of memory (RAM), which requires specialized hardware.
✅ Ideal for Ethereum Classic (ETC) – EtHash is mainly used for mining Ethereum Classic and other altcoins such as Uphold (UPH) and Expanse (EXP).
✅ High Hashrate & Efficiency – ASIC miners for EtHash offer high performance with low energy consumption, resulting in higher profitability.
✅ Stability & Security – EtHash ensures a strong and secure blockchain network by promoting decentralization and utilizing ASIC-based mining rigs.
