HMQ1725 algorithm – List of HMQ1725 coins and mining software’s

Last week on coin list we’ve shared about Keccak algorithm and its coins. Even though there isn’t an ASIC in existence; Keccak is not so popular among GPU miners. The main reason is there are only a very few notable coins with that algorithm. Similarly this week we’ll cover another interesting and rare mining algorithm called HMQ1725 which is both CPU and GPU mineable. Before we list all HMQ1725 coins and its miners we’ll cover a little about HMQ1725 hashing algorithm.

HMQ1725 Algorithm

Have you ever heard or previously mined Quark? – One of the secure hashing algorithm used by popular coins like PIVX and ALQO. Long ago; Quark algorithm has become ASIC friendly and mining them is not viable using GPUs. The modified version of this Quark hash function is known as HMQ1725.

The algorithm HMQ1725 stands for “Highly Modified Quark1725” where 1725 represents 17 algorithms and 25 hash rounds. In order to provide highest security level it uses 17 algorithms which are hashed 25 times. This algorithm is easy to compute on low to medium powered computers which means it is both CPU and GPU mineable. Also HMQ1725 is not much resistance to ASIC but currently according to our research we couldn’t find an ASIC or FPGA for HMQ1725. Before they come in to play here is your chance to mine them using CPU and GPU.

HMQ1725 Miners

Following are the list of miners that you can use to mine HMQ1725 algorithm / coins. Before you get started with mining note that this algorithm is both memory and core intensive so careful while overclocking. Also HMQ1725 is optimized for Geforce 10 series graphic cards and is not so effective on AMD cards. Anyways if you are interested then you can give this algorithm a try. Miners are available for CPU, AMD and NVIDIA graphic cards.

HMQ1725 Coin List

HMQ1725 is not new to crypto mining space but still it is not so popular as other algorithms. This one is a creation of CryptoCoderz community and the first coin to implement this algorithm is Espers (ESP). Currently there are only few coins using this algorithm and not many have discovered them yet.

Even with active development and promising roadmap some of the coins in this list have not attained its exposure yet. However on the other hand there are also coins that have little to no active development or features. Also there are coins with large amount of premine so keep an eye on it and do your own research before you pick a coin to mine.

• Espers – ESP
• Doubloon BOAT – BOAT
• Veggie Coin – VEGGIE
• PlusOneCoin – PLUS1
• Nomad Coin – NMD
• ERA – ERA
• Brazio – BRAZ
• xCoin [XCOIN]
• Topaz Coin (TOPAZ) – Inactive

Espers – ESP

Espers is a project by Cryptocoderz and the first coin to use HMQ 1725 algorithm. It is a PoW, PoS coin with the goal of offering secured messaging and websites on the blockchain. Some of the other features includes Xnodes, Sidechains, Mailing System, ChainApps, CrossChain and SiteOnChain.
