How to mine BSOV

Not extremely difficult

Believe it or not – Mining is not that difficult for people who are already technical minded. It’s easy to learn with the instructions on this page. Nearly any computer can start mining BSOV, but the computers with high-end graphic cards are the ones which are the most efficient.

An ERC20 which is mineable = ERC918

Mining BitcoinSOV works differently than normal Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) mining. In BSOV, the miners are not verifying transactions, and there is no consensus mechanism. BSOV mining is performed by interacting with the BitcoinSOV smart-contract, which provides the mathematical challenges. The BSOV smart-contract was copied from the open-source code of the cryptocurrency 0xBTC, which was the first mineable ERC20 token, creating a new token standard called ERC918.

Recommended equipment

• GPU =  Less profitable.
• FPGA = More profitable.
• ASIC = Superior (Not yet produced – Do you know any ASIC-manufacturers who might be interested?)

Mining with GPUs

Recommended operating system right now is Windows and Linux. You can see an overview over user-submitted GPU stats to see how your graphic card can eventually perform. For the SoliditySHA3-algorithm that BitcoinSOV uses, usually Nvidia GPU’s (like Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti) are the most efficient.

FPGA – Get the most profitable miner

Buy the correct FPGA, with the correct power supply, and follow the guide below.

BSOV shares the same SoliditySHA3 algorithm as 0xBTC/0xToken. – MAKE SURE THE FPGA SUPPORTS THE CORRECT ALGORITHM.

BSOV is ASIC-friendly

ASIC (Application-specific integrated circuit) is a type of hardware that specializes at only one thing, and uses the most efficient method to perform specific tasks, like mining BSOV. ASICs are currently not produced for BSOV.

BSOV is ASIC-friendly, because the SoliditySHA3 algorithm implemented in BSOV’s immutable smart-contract, is one of the most energy-efficient algorithms. The algorithm of BSOV will never change due to BSOV’s immunity against hardforks. This fact can set ASIC-manufacturers at ease, and encourages production, commercialization and competition of more efficient hardware.

Are you a manufacturer or a distributor of ASICs? Maybe you’ve got some connections who want to get in early on the deflationary financial evolution of BSOV?

Rent equipment

If you don’t have a an FPGA or GPU, you may find websites which rent out FPGA or GPU-servers.
