About the project

Photon is a Cryptocurrency using the Blake 256 Algorithm. It is a new project designed to function well now and with future technology in mind. Photon is the second coin to use this unique design (modeled after Blake Coin) and may be mergemined in a pool with Blake Coin or other Blake 256 coins in the future.

Currently almost every Cryptocurrency that exists cannot be merge mined in the same way Namecoin and others are with Bitcoin. Coin developers are working against each other instead of together right now. Photon is an attempt to change that. If you are digging in a mine for gold you would not leave silver, tin or other things of value around; you would take them all.

This is why Photon was created with the fast & light Blake 256 algorithm. This is the future. Scrypt coins cannot be merge mined. Most Sha-256D coins cannot be either. I could not have completed this project without the input of Bluedragon747, the creator of Blake Coin. Many thanks.

Photon can be mined by most people with a CPU or GPU. Below is information on how to mine Photon with some FPGA boards (ASIC's for Bitcoin cannot be used to mine photon.)

Unlike Scrypt-1024 and other variations it is possible to mine Photon with ASIC technology designed to solve Blake 256
although none currently exist or are in development to my knowledge. The memory limitations of making ASIC's for
Scrypt 1024 are not a problem with this algorithm. Blake-256(optimized) is faster than Scrypt, SHA-256D and Keccak. The algorithm was written as a candidate for SHA-3, Based on round one candidate code from the Sphlib 2.1 library and reduced the round function to 8 rounds.
