SHA-2: A family of two similar hash functions, with different block sizes, known as SHA-256 and SHA-512. They differ in the word size; SHA-256 uses 32-bit words where SHA-512 uses 64-bit words. There are also truncated versions of each standard, known as SHA-224, SHA-384, SHA-512/224 and SHA-512/256. These were also designed by the NSA.
As of 2018, coins were mined using a proof of work algorithm with a hash function called "X11", with eleven rounds of hashing, and the average time to mine a coin was around two and a half minutes. [ 1 ]
SHA-256 & RIPEMD160: C# [38] dBFT: China based cryptocurrency, formerly ANT Shares and ANT Coins. The names were changed in 2017 to NEO and GAS. 2014 MazaCoin: MZC BTC Oyate Initiative SHA-256d: C++ [39] PoW: The underlying software is derived from that of another cryptocurrency, ZetaCoin. 2014 Monero: XMR Monero Core Team RandomX C++ [40] PoW
Use PBKDF2 to generate the desired number of bytes, but using the expensive salt we just generated return PBKDF2 HMAC-SHA256 (Passphrase, expensiveSalt, 1, DesiredKeyLen); Where PBKDF2(P, S, c, dkLen) notation is defined in RFC 2898, where c is an iteration count. This notation is used by RFC 7914 for specifying a usage of PBKDF2 with c = 1.
It used SHA-256, a cryptographic hash function, in its proof-of-work scheme. [16] [17] In April 2011, Namecoin was created as an attempt at forming a decentralized DNS. In October 2011, Litecoin was released, which used scrypt as its hash function instead of SHA-256. Peercoin, created in August 2012, used a hybrid of proof-of-work and proof-of ...
Mining-based coins are mined into circulation by computer networks that solve complex mathematical problems often requiring a lot of energy. The world’s largest cryptocurrency — Bitcoin — is ...

The algorithm issues new coins to miners and was designed to be resistant against application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining. Monero's privacy features have attracted cypherpunks and users desiring privacy measures not provided in other cryptocurrencies. A Dutch–Italian study published in 2022 decisively concluded "For now, Monero ...
