MeowPow - Creating an Efficient Hashing Algorithm

In my dynamic world of cryptocurrency development, innovation drives progress. MeowPow stands as a testament to my relentless pursuit of creating a fresh proof-of-work algorithm based on ProgPow.

Origins: MeowPow Evolution

MeowPow starts out as a goal, a derivative of ProgPow infused with ambitious goals for energy consumption reduction. Inspired by the successes of projects like Ravencoin, Neoxa, and Firo, I set out to redefine mining algorithms with MeowPow.

Technical Parameters and Iterative Testing

My journey towards MeowPow’s realization involved meticulous parameter tuning and rigorous testing. Through multiple testnets and collaboration with industry experts, I honed MeowPow’s parameters to strike the delicate balance between efficiency and security.

MeowPowMiner: Unveiling GPU Efficiency

Leveraging insights from KawPows ecosystems, I was able to create MeowPowMiner. This was a reliable GPU mining solution I created to process the algorithms intricacies so both AMD and Nvidia GPUs could operate on the algorithmn.

DAG Size Optimization

In tandem with algorithmic enhancements, I orchestrated an increase in Meowcoin’s DAG size. Drawing insights from Ethereum Classic’s DAG size reduction, MeowPow implemented a forward-looking strategy to ensure compatibility with contemporary mining hardware and favor typical household mining hardware.

Countdown to Activation

As MeowPow approaches its activation milestone, anticipation runs high. The Meowcoin community eagerly awaits the unveiling of MeowPow on the main network, poised to embrace a new era of energy-efficient mining.

Tracking Progress

I created a dedicated countdown website that serves as a testament to MeowPow’s journey, tracking activation milestones and DAG size transitions. With each passing day, Meowcoin inches closer to a sustainable future powered by MeowPow.
