List of pools and settings

MiningPoolStats

Ferrite runs on Scrypt algorithm - exact compatibility with Litecoin/Dogecoin

Scrypt is not an ASIC-resistant algorithm.

ASIC mining is recommended. You can opt to rent an Scrypt ASIC.

Other notes

All versions of Ferrite Core wallets will maintain backwards compatibility

At height 250,000 all Ferrite will be split into 1 Ferrite (FEC) and 1 Ferrite Classic (FECC). v1.x.x and v2.x.x will only be able to spend the FECC portion, while v3+ will only be able to spend the FEC portion.
Do not be alarmed if coins sent through v1.x.x and v2.x.x (Ferrite Classic) do not appear in your v3+ (Ferrite) balance - your Ferrite balance is unchanged.
Coins sent to Ferrite Classic through Ferrite will not show up, but are not lost. Ferrite Classic users need to copy their wallet to a v3+ Ferrite Core client to be able to access the coins.
One can attempt to run both Ferrite Classic and Ferrite after Ferrite Classic is launched. Ferrite Classic may encounter hashrate instability.
