SlushPool to accept AsicBoost mining

The mining pool called SlushPool will from now on support the AsicBoost technology which makes mining faster approximately by 20%, as claimed by the developers. This mining method helps to bypass unnecessary steps in algorithm solving and thus optimizes the speed of new coin acquisition, which makes the whole enterprise more beneficial for a miner using it.

As noted by the media, the licence for this AsicBoost technology is available to all members of the Blockchain Defensive Patent Licence.

Other recent mining breakthroughs include the news about the possible cooperation of China and Belarus due to the legislative initiatives recently implemented in the latter country. Apparently, investors from China were among the first to see benefits in non-taxed mining in this little country in Eastern Europe.

The miners of Iceland might have less time to think about the news on SlushPool due to the fact that recently there has been a big heist involving hundreds of mining rigs. Even the local police called this event unprecedented.
