The basic hashing algorithms for mining are considered, their characteristics are described and the best version of the hashing algorithm on a personal computer (with certain technical parameters) is proposed. Descriptions of hash functions are presented, results and approximate indications of their work are given. The work done will allow you to get acquainted with the most common mining algorithms, types of mining, as well as delve deeper into the topic of cryptocurrencies and their varieties. The given practical results will allow you not only to analyze the cryptocurrency market and mining in general, but also to understand how calculations affect the technical parameters of the device.
