After the transition of Ethereum to POS, new projects became popular for mining on video cards: IronFish, Kaspa, Nexa, Radiant. Which are focused primarily on the performance of the core, and not memory, as was the case for the EThash algorithm. Half a year later, FPGA miners have already been released for all these core-oriented algorithms, and for KASPA, ASIC miners from several manufacturers are not only being designed, but already available for sale. The advent of FPGA and ASIC processors directly affects the profitability of video cards based on these algorithms, since graphics cards are much less efficient than specialized devices. Therefore, a new crypto project called Neurai, whose developers focus primarily on GPU miners, uses the KAWPOW algorithm, which is used for the Ravencoin cryptocurrency and still does not scale well for FGPA and ASIC miners.
A feature of the project for miners is the fact that the reward decreases every 10 days by 5%, i.e. in the first year of mining, about 57% of all coins will be mined. There will be 21 billion coins in total. The block time is 1 minute and the block size is 8 MB.
At the moment, the project is only gaining its popularity, and although the complexity of mining and the decrease in rewards constantly reduce the profitability of mining, this is offset by an increase in the price of this cryptocurrency. Because of what, the profitability of XNA mining remains one of the most profitable for video cards today.
Because the well-known KawPow algorithm is used, so there will be no problems with mining this cryptocurrency, due to the fact that miners for this algorithm have long been debugged and creating a pool will not be difficult either.
Video card hashrate for Neurai:
Because KAWPOW is used, then hashrates and settings for video cards have long been known. You can find out the hashrate and immediately calculate the profitability from XNA mining on the website Profit-mine.com or cryptoage.com
Pools for mining XNA:
rplant.xyz - 734GH/s
newpool.pw - 88Gh/s
mining4people.com - 69GH/s
miningpower.eu - 100Gh/s
ekapool.com - 13Gh/s
neuraipool.com - 2Gh/s
And many other smaller pools
Miners for Neurai:
Gminer, T-rex, Team Red Miner, Nanominer, XMrig, NBminer, WidRigMiner, BZminer
Wallet for Neurai:
At the moment, only the official wallet (node) is available on the official website of the project neurai.org.
Alternatively, instead of installing a full node for NERUAI, you can use crypto exchanges that support this cryptocurrency.
Exchanges for Neurai:
Conclusion: Everyone decides whether or not to switch their mining capacities to the new Neurai project for the long term, but taking advantage of the temporary interest in the new project and getting additional profit here and now does not seem like a bad idea. It remains only to decide whether it is worth your time to reconfigure the mining rigs and install the wallet. As practice shows, in the long term for a year and beyond, no more than 20% of all projects survive, but it is possible that Neurai is exactly the project that will become the new Ethereum for "lazy" mining in the future.
