SHA512256d

The SHA512/256d algorithm is a cryptographic hash function that enhances security and decentralization in blockchain networks.

It is specifically used for mining RXD (Radiant) Coin, offering a secure and efficient way to participate in the network.

It combines the strengths of SHA-512 and SHA-256 by applying double hashing, which makes it more resistant to attacks and more secure than many other algorithms. This added layer of complexity ensures that mining with SHA512/256d requires significant computational power, making it harder to manipulate or control the network, thereby increasing the blockchain’s overall integrity.

Additionally, certain mining rigs support dual mining with both SHA512/256d and Blake3 algorithms. Dragonball A11 and the IceRiver RX0 are examples of such multi-functional miners, allowing miners to mine RXD Coin using the SHA512/256d algorithm while simultaneously mining other cryptocurrencies that utilize the Blake3 algorithm, like Alephium (ALPH). This capability offers an efficient way for miners to increase their revenue by mining multiple coins at once, maximizing the potential of their mining hardware.
