Nice you pool 

We are happy to announce our very festive #MinerSanta event!

Gifts are a quintessential part of the holiday season, and an overwhelmingly popular way of exchanging gifts is to play Secret Santa. Out of all the different holiday games out there, though, do you wonder why we decided to arrange Secret Santa? It’s a classic that’s often played at work holiday parties and family gatherings, where there are enough people to make the game interesting. But as with most cultural traditions, Secret Santa has a fascinating aspect to gather people together and make them have a lot of fun!

To express gratitude towards our dearest community we set up the digital version of Secret Santa. Even our CEO Claude Lecomte will take part in this holiday amusement. Furthermore, you’ll find out another pleasant surprise at end of the event, as well.

Let's get started!

For a long time, the MinerGate pool was supportive of the Monero Original cryptocurrency. However, the MinerGate team recently decided to move its support from Monero Original to Monero-Classic.

The Monero’s fork, that happened on April 6, 2018, and was intended to protect its ASIC-resistance, caused a large controversy amongst blockchain analysts, investors, and cryptocurrency developers. Some of them supported the decision, and some condemned it. However, the update happened and led to the establishment of the four new coins.

For a long time blockchain was considered only to be a driving technology behind cryptocurrency. However, the modern approach to the blockchain is constantly widening for the last several years and covers more and more enterprise fields. Current blockchain development trends are some of the most promising for IT and FinTech industries that provide them with much attention from the major businesses.

The uniting characteristic of many modern IT development trends is that they are actively implementing new technological concepts on top of blockchain-based networks for modern corporate purposes. Due to the mentioned movement, blockchain becomes more and more popular among major businesses all over the world. However, constant growth of blockchain and cryptocurrency sector gathers not only the attention of business and entrepreneurs but also the attention of government authorities and remains under the pressure of becoming a target of the strict regulatory framework.

Our flashmob is dedicated to the miners, the people who scaffold the whole crypto industry. These days it seems the prevailing opinion regarding the mining industry is that the trader is king of the hill and the miner is just a kitchen boy. We want to show how wrong that is! Thousands of mining enthusiasts aren’t even concerned with profit, they do it out of a sincere belief in the technology and its usefulness to the world. MinerGate believes that these people are the unseen heroes of the crypto world and it is time for them to get their much deserved recognition.

Recently we took a poll, asking people about their mining experience, how they got started, and their aspirations. We’ve received several hundreds of emails in the first week, and this result inspired us to do a huge digital flashmob to let the miners around the world tell their stories.

Dear miners,

MinerGate team is glad to inform you that we intend to support the upcoming hard fork of the Monero (XMR) network. Scheduled on the block height of 1685555, the approximate date of the network update is October 18, 2018.


There are three major changes in the Monero protocol:

1. A new form of range proofs, called Bulletproof, replacing old Borromean range proofs and significantly reducing both transactions size and fees (by approximately 80%);
2. A PoW tweak to be implemented to curb any potential threat of ASICs and further preserve ASIC resistance;
3. The minimum ring size of the ring signature is increased to 11 and will be static/fixed from now on.

The MinerGate team is ready to support these changes, like it was with the previous Monero (XMR) hard fork in April 2018. To continue mining XMR with MinerGate Monero mining pool on the newly updated blockchain, you will need to update your stable version of the mining software (not xFast Beta yet). The goal of our team is to provide users with a solid working solution to continue mining Monero after the fork, and the new XMR mining will be supported on the xFast versions soon.

Dear miners,
MinerGate’s #iamaminer flashmob is about to start, and while we are making the final preparations, we’d like to present you our dearest jury.

MinerGate has recently started a new massive project “I am a miner” dedicated exclusively to MinerGate’s miners. The project is about to shed more light on the lives of miners all over the world, specifically on their environment, wishes, goals, and dreams. Unfortunately, it is often the case that these people who carry the weight of blockchain on their equipment’s “shoulders” are forgotten or even mistreated. Traders and cryptoanalysts love to put themselves in a public eye, getting more and more attention. “I am a miner” was created to stop this outrageous favoritism. Altogether, we’ll remind everybody that miners play the most essential part in the crypto community and that they should be heard and respected.
MinerGate collected some of the most touching and sincere stories and now you’ll see them yourselves.
