PROGPOW Explained in under 4 min. & why it matters to GPU Miners

With the pending change to PROGPOW, a lot of questions come up to what is it, how does it work, what makes it different and why would a coin change to it.

In a past livestream I covered an explanation on what's going on with PROGPOW and how it leverages the entire GPU. This was the quickest I could explain in under 4min. A larger deep dive, if in order will be done in a proper tutorial style episode.

FULL Results being compiled and will be posted on bitsbetrippin.io
