C11 Algorithm – C11 Miner and list of all C11 Coins
Miners will mine coins that are profitable at the moment. They’d like to try out new algorithms with their GPUs and they strictly stay away from ASIC algorithms. If the algorithm which they mine seems stable and smooth enough then they stick to it and try to find out more profitable coins that uses identical algorithm. Every week at Coin Guides we post about an algorithm and tag all crypto currencies related to that specific algorithm. This helps miners to easily pick a coin without much research. Similarly this week on coin lists it’s about C11 Algorithm – One of the popular algorithm among NVIDIA miners.
Before we list all coins based on C11 algorithm we’ll first see what’s C11 and some of its benefits. In addition to this we’ll also see the best c11 mining software available for CPU, AMD and NVIDIA cards.
C11 Algorithm – ASIC and NiceHash Resistant
Chaincoin was the first cryptocurrency to introduce and use the C11 hashing algorithm. This C11 algorithm derived its name from the use of 11 random algorithms that are chained together. The algorithms that make up C11 are: blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd and echo. We couldn’t find a whitepaper, but C11 was greatly inspired from Darkcoin Dash X11 algorithm and is very much similar to X11. The only difference is that these 11 algorithms in c11 are chained in a different order.
C11 is currently both ASIC and NiceHash resistant. C11 ASIC isn’t available yet, but in the future if the value of these coins goes up then the development of ASIC will be accelerated. Also since it is similar to Dash x11 algorithm it is possible to mod Antminer D3 ASIC to mine C11 algorithm. Aside from that, assuming that there isn’t an ASIC for C11; this is one of the decent algorithm to mine using GPU. Especially If you have a NVIDIA GPU then it’s a good stable algo in which the power doesn’t fluctuate much. Also most coins using c11 are new and have low difficulty so if you have a small farm you can even try solo mining.
C11 Miners – Best c11 mining software (NVIDIA / AMD)
C11 is mineable using CPU, NVIDIA and AMD GPU. Below are the best mining software’s available currently for C11 mining.
CPU:

AMD:
Chaincoin SGMiner: https://mega.nz/#!w0VWkBbZ!PWyCPnCjIuvm6pH8Ljt-hXvllg4npedd0gfwKGXkL-E
NVIDIA:
CCMiner Alexis: https://github.com/alexis78/ccminer
For NVIDIA: CCMiner 2.2.5 works fine too but it is not the best. According to several reports alexis78 is the fastest NVIDIA miner for c11 algorithm. This version is optimized for c11 mining and it outperforms regular ccminer. We’ve shared the GitHub link where the source code of the miner is available and you can compile it yourself.
In addition to this you can also try Nemos Miner in which you can expect similar performance.

C11 Mining Rig Rental:
Also C11 mining rigs are available for rent at mining rig rentals so if you don’t have a hardware to mine then you could use this service.
Things to Note:
C11 algorithm doesn’t need memory speed. It uses core so decrease memory, lower power and increase core clock for maximum performance. Also If you own Radeon cards it’s better to mine Ethash because NVIDIA GPU outperforms and are superior when it comes to c11 mining. For your reference below are the hashrates on C11 algorithm for the following GPUs. This information has been fetched from pool’s benchmark reports.
GTX 1080 Ti - 25 to 30 Mh/s GTX 1080 - 16 Mh/s GTX 1070 - 12.5 Mh/s 1060 6gb - 11.5 Mh/s GTX 970 - 10 Mh/s GTX 780 Ti - 6.5 Mh/s
RX 580 - 6.2 Mh/s RX 480 - 5 to 6 Mh/s R9 290x - 3.5 Mh/s R9 280x - 2.5 Mh/s
