Algorithms 

Bitcoin uses SHA-256, but there are various algorithms that can be used in PoW consensus types, and some of these algorithms are listed as follows and illustrated in the next screenshot:

  • base Quark: Dimecoin, AnimeCoin
  • CryptoNight: AeonCoin, Monero
  • Dagger-Hashimoto: Ethereum, Krypton
  • Equihash: Zcash, Komodo
  • Groestl: AidBit, GroestlCoin
  • Keccak: 365Coin, Wecoin
  • Lyra2RE: Lyrobar, MondaCoin
  • SHA-512: MemoryCoin, ProtoShares
  • NeoScrypt: Feathercoin, Ufocoin
  • NXT: CoinoIndex, SuperNet
  • Scrypt: Litecoin, Dogecoin
  • Scrypt-jane: QQcoin, ThorCoin
  • Scrypt-N: Caishen, Elacoin, GenesisCoin
  • Skein-SHA2: SkeinCoin, XedoCoin
  • X11: Dash, Chipcoin, Karmacoin
  • X13: Cloakcoin, Zipcoin, PioneerCoin
  • X15: CrystalCoin, Halcyon, HTML5coin
  • Yescrypt: BitZeny, GlobalBoostY

Each of these algorithms has had specific modifications over other algorithms.
