What is GhostRider?

GhostRider is a multi-stage proof-of-work algorithm that randomly rotates through various cryptonight and x16 variations to prevent ASIC and FPGA development.

Because each sub-algorithm tests different cache patterns, CPUs with large L3 caches (such as AMD Ryzen with 3D V-Cache or high-core Intel processors) perform exceptionally well.

Mining Considerations & Thermal Cycling

Thermal fluctuation is a unique characteristic of GhostRider.

Sub-Algorithm Rotation:

Power consumption surges and drops as algorithm types rotate. Assess performance by evaluating 24-hour average accepted shares rather than peak momentary hashrate.
