Adding Coins

[minershaven]

If I want to add a different coin to miningcore and the algorithm is listed in https://github.com/oliverw/miningcore/tree/master/src/Miningcore/Crypto/Hashing

Is it just a matter of adding that coins details to the coins.json file ?

If both the hash algorithm and - much more important - the coin family is already supported, then there's a good chance for modifying coins.json is all it takes. Some coins come with internal changes that might not be obvious at first glance (not even to me), which require code changes in Miningcore as well.

Thank you for the reply. Looks like both the algorithm and the coin family is there so I will give it a try. Thanks again for the help Oliver!

No, there's just hard work and potentially a lot of pain. 😁
