⛏ SHA256 Mining

Shears Mining on GitHub

We look after 49 repositories of open-source code for small SHA-256 coins. When a coin's developers move on, its code often disappears with them – so the first thing we do with any coin is make a safe copy. Then, where a coin needs it, we fix and upgrade it in the open.

github.com/Shears-Mining The coins we mine

What we do with the code

Preserve it. Every coin we mine is forked into our GitHub organisation, so its source, history and releases can't vanish.
Fix stalled coins. Small coins freeze when a big miner leaves. Our Shears StallGuard (ASERT difficulty with a stall rescue and a floor) keeps them moving – free to use under the MIT licence.
Add merge-mining (AuxPoW), so Bitcoin miners can secure a small coin at no extra cost.
Publish community releases when a coin has been abandoned – tested on a private test chain, with wallets for Windows, Linux and Raspberry Pi, full source and checksums, and credit to the original developers.
Run the infrastructure: public nodes and block explorers for coins that have lost theirs.
