Mining remains in the doldrums, the client winminer points to its closure
Table of contents:
When Ethereum virtual currency was at its peak, services like NiceHash and WinMiner were all the rage, using what is called 'automated mining'.
Cryptocurrency client WinMiner aims for closure
Automated mining was designed with the idea of increasing profitability by automatically changing algorithms rather than the operator finding out which cryptocurrency was most profitable at the time. NiceHash may have been one of the best known due to its user base and notoriety, but alongside it was WinMiner as well.
WinMiner was interesting because it even offered the ability to receive payments in various ways: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum and they even accepted PayPal withdrawals when they started and now they have more than 10 different ways to receive payments. It all went to hell when the price of cryptocurrencies plummeted.
Due to the drop in the price of cryptocurrencies and the interest from miners, WinMiner has been put into hibernation mode, which seems to be the step prior to its final closure.
”We want to thank all WinMiner fans around the world for sharing the journey with us so far. It is not over forever, we will contact you when we return . ” These are some of the excerpts from the WinMiner statement.
This will be bad news for miners, but not for players. With the prices of normal graphics cards again we can rebuild PCs to play and not to mine, which is how it always should have been.
