If you are looking to mine Mooncoin, keep in mind that before you do so, invest some time into researching if your setup will actually generate you any profit. Mooncoins price can fluctuate and the amount of miners also plays a great deal in your chances of making a profit. At the current price of MOON, consider how much worth it setting up a mining rig would be. Hardware that would be most powerful for mining would be ASICs which are unfortunately nowadays extremely pricey. If mining with a computer, a GPU won’t generate a large turnout but it might be something for the start when mining Mooncoin. Mining profitability charts can show you how much USD you can make for 1 Mh/s of hash rate. These charts also have the electricity expenses covered. Mining difficulty increases by the number of miners and every time the demand for a larger hash rate increases. Your hash rate is basically how much computing power you are providing for mining new blocks. This takes what is called 'block time'.

Mooncoin is a parish situated in south Kilkenny, Ireland.This site contains information, history and pictures about Mooncoin.

How to mine Mooncoin

What is an ASIC miner? ASIC mining rigs are machines made of a motherboard, ASIC chip and a cooling system. They're designed specifically to mine a certain cryptocurrency and they do it well. This hardwares purpose is to solve as many cryptographic puzzles at a time. The primary investment into one of these could get paid for in a few months, but there is still a large problem with noise, heat and power demand of these machines besides, they do break down and as the machine runs 24/7, they do wear out.

The moon-coin.uk company offers everyone to invest their savings in the exchange trading of digital currencies. When full-fledged mining requires large investments in order to purchase powerful equipment, we offer much more modest amounts to start with. The founders of the moon-coin.uk company is a team of traders with a great experience of. Iron Super New Moon Coin - Large 1.5' $25.00. RIVENDELL™ - MITHRIL™ Blue Moon Coin.

What is a hashrate. A hash rate is basically a scale of how many guesses for the puzzle your mining setup can make in a given amount of time. The rate is in hashes per second (h/s) and can be decadically moved up (KH/s, MH/s,...).

Ethash is used for encrypting Ethereum and Ethereum Classic. Ethash was built to be ASIC-resistant through memory-hardness (by requiring large memory, standart ASICs couldn’t decrypt the puzzles). Unfortunately for graphics miners, in early 2018 the first ASIC miners for Ethash were introduced on the market and Ethereum eventually lost its decentralization similarly like Bitcoin.

SHA256 (or Secure Hash Algorithm) was originally designed by the NSA back in 2002. Later the algorithm found use within the Bitcoin cryptocurrency and is what runs all Bitcoin based coins. SHA256 is a hash of 256 bits and is what miners decrypt using their mining setups which eventually validates blocks, for what miners are rewarded.

The Scrypt algorithm similarly to Ethash was designed to be ASIC-resistant, but unfortunately ASIC miners for Scrypt have entered the market and cryptocurrencies like Litecoin expect the same fate as Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are already ASICs mined so nowadays mining these with a GPU is useless. If you consider that one of the best GPUs on the market go for around $400 and will give you only about 1 GH/s of power and an Antminer U2 which you’re able to get for around $20 on ebay will provide 2 GH/s, the difference is huge. Always calculate if your desired cryptocurrency is still worth mining on your type of setup.

GPUs are far better at handling parallel processing than CPUs. These computations are basically simple math problems at which GPUs are far better at solving. A CPU is nowadays only usable for mining coins which haven’t been destroyed by ASICs miners. Try calculating your turnout using online calculators like WhatToMine.

The DAG Epoch is what the Ethereum mining difficulty is called. In time, as the currency grows and the amount of miners increases, the mining difficulty grows. As the difficulty increases, also the memory requirements do. Mining with smaller GPUs has become impossible due to this feature which prevents ASICs mining.

Certain mining programs allow mining two cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Pascal, Decred, etc. simultaneously. This allows you to maintain efficiency while mining both coins. When mining for example Eth+sia, mining both has almost no impact on the Ethereum hashrate. You’re basically getting two coins at once for the same power you provide.

Proof-of-Work (PoW)

The proof-of-work system/protocol which is used by Mooncoin, was first used in the mid-1990's for fighting spam emails. The idea never found a truly useful cause until 2009 when bitcoin was created. Bitcoin itself utilizes this protocol in its transaction blockchain and thanks to this we can witness the growth in bitcoin mining.
The base idea of this lies in a challenge and proof (or response). The challenge is a transaction, which is a specific cryptographic puzzle. The proof is that a miners computer cracks the puzzle, so the transaction goes through. And that is proof of the miners' work and him providing his hardware for the validation of transactions. The more hash power a miner can provide for validating transactions, the bigger his Mooncoin reward for the service is.
The problem with PoW is that mining has become so large that miners are investing into giant A.S.I.C. hardware which is highly energy consuming. Many mining farms are built around the globe as bitcoin has risen in value.

FAQ

Mooncoin Price

Mooncoin (Irish: Móin Choinn, meaning 'Coyne’s Bogland') (pop. 1,000) is a census town in County Kilkenny, in Ireland.^[1][3] The population had increased to 1,166 at the 2011 census.^[3] Historically part of the Gaelic kingdom of Osraige, today it is in the far south of the county of Kilkenny, located in the valley of the River Suir. It is surrounded by the uplands of the Slievenamon and Comeragh Mountains, just 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north of Waterford City along the N24 national primary road (Waterford to Limerick), and it is 48 kilometres (30 mi) south of Kilkenny.^[4]

The town's name derives from an anglicized version of the Irish 'Móin Choinn' which means 'Coyne’s Bogland'.^[4] The song The Rose of Mooncoin by poet Watt Murphy has been adopted as the Kilkenny GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) anthem. The town has continually received high scores in the Tidy Towns competition.^[5][6][7]

Etymology[edit]

While William Carrigan recorded the meaning as unknown, according to O'Kelly 1969 the town's name derives from an anglicized version of the Irish 'Móin Choinn', with 'móin' meaning 'bogland' and the 'coine' suffix meaning 'Coyne' or 'Choinn', so translated it is 'Coyne’s Bogland'.^[4][8][9] The Grant family, including Coyne Grant, were property owners in the area.^[4][9] Recorded as 'Moincoin' in a ballad about the battle of Carrickshock, called 'Carraig Seac' and made famous by the song 'The Rose of Mooncoin'.^[10] Mooncoin gives its name to a townland, and the Roman Catholic parish of Mooncoin.^[11][12]

Geography[edit]

Mooncoin is situated in the Suir Valley, at the south of County Kilkenny in the province of Leinster in the south-east of Ireland. The linear town, which lacks a traditional village centre, stretches along the N24 national primary road with little development north and south. It is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) away the Waterford City and 48 kilometres (30 mi) south of the county townKilkenny. Located in the barony of Iverk, Mooncoin is in the civil parishes of Pollrone, Rathkieran, and Ballytarsney.^[1]

The population is 1,166 (as of 2016), of which the majority (776) live in the electoral eivision of Pollrone, and the remaining 390 live in Portnascully electoral division.^[3] The village includes shops, traditional cottages, large private dwellings, and a parish hall.^[4] The main street lies between the two crossroads, the western end includes the church, convent, and school.^[4] At the eastern end is a number of buildings in their own grounds including the two schools.^[4] There are two primary schools, one for boys and one for girls, in Mooncoin along with a secondary school. To the north of the village is the Waterford-Limerick railway line.^[4]

The continued growth in the population supports a number of businesses.^{[citation needed]} There are two pubs (reduced from three after Howleys closed), three convenience stores, a pharmacy, a bakery, a hairdressers, and two take-aways. There is a 24-hour petrol station on the Waterford road side of the village.^{[citation needed]}

History[edit]

Historically part of the Gaelic kingdom of Osraige. Prior to the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, Coyne Grant and the Grant family were property owners in Pollrone, Dungooly and Ballynabooly.^[4][9] Following the construction of a new road Mooncoin developed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.^[4]

Mooncoin was the head of a Roman Catholic union or district, comprising the parishes of Rathkyran, Aglishmartin, Portnescully, Poleroan, Clonmore, Ballytarsna, Tubrid, and part of Burnchurch.^[12] The parish of Mooncoin has three churches - the main parish church in Mooncoin and two smaller churches in Killinaspick and Carrigeen.

In 1829 the Parish Priest, Rev. Nicholas Carroll, bought the Presentation Sisters a house in the centre of the village. They began teaching and by 1842 Mooncoin had a girls school with 200 pupils.^[13] Samuel Lewis' (1837) in his Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, described it as 'a village and extra-parochial place' and 'containing 102 houses and 495 inhabitants'.^[12] The single cell church of the Assumption is Church was built in 1869, and in 1871 the Convent school was built next to the Church.^[4][14]

Culture[edit]

Mooncoin in song[edit]

Mooncoin has been made famous by the song 'The Rose of Mooncoin', which has been adopted as the Kilkenny GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) anthem by Paddy Grace. This is an apt acknowledgement of the village, as Mooncoin (along with Tullaroan) was one of the leading hurling teams in the country in the early years of the Gaelic Athletic Association.

The song was written in the 1800s by a local schoolteacher and poet named Watt Murphy, who met and gradually fell in love with a local girl called Elizabeth, also known as Molly. Elizabeth was just 20 years old, and Watt was then 56, but the difference in age was of no consequence to either of them. Both were intellectuals, and they would often stroll along the banks of the river Suir, composing and reciting poetry. However, Elizabeth's father, who was the local vicar, did not approve of their relationship, and she was sent away to England. Watt was brokenhearted at the loss of his beloved lady, and wrote this song in her memory.

'How sweet 'tis to roam by the sunny Suir stream,
And hear the dove's coo 'neath the morning's sunbeam.
Where the thrush and the robin their sweet notes combine
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin.

Flow on, lovely river, flow gently along.
By your waters so sweet sounds the lark's merry song.
On your green banks I'll wander where first I did join
With you, lovely Molly, the Rose of Mooncoin.

Oh Molly, dear Molly, it breaks my fond heart,
To know that we two for ever must part
I will think of you, Molly, while sun and moon shines
On the banks of the Suir that flows down by Mooncoin...'

Sport[edit]

GAA[edit]

Mooncoin have been County Kilkenny Senior HurlingChampions twelve times, 1888, 1900, 1906, 1908, 1913, 1916, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1932, 1936 and 1965. They were also Senior County Gaelic football Champions in 1886, beating James Stephens (The Village) in a replay. The most famous and successful GAA player in Mooncoin's history was Richard 'Drug' Walsh (1878–1958). He won 7 all Ireland medals with Kilkenny and famously captained Kilkenny to three all Ireland finals (1907, 1909, 1913). Only two other people in the history of hurling have achieved this same feat: Christy Ring of Cork and Mikey Maher of Tipperary in the 1890s.
