Hey,

For æternity testnet and mainnet launch, we will use the cuckoo cycle implementation, as provided by John Tromp. This includes per default a miner for CPUs and a miner for Nvidia GPUs will be configurable. We provide instructions on how to configure this in GitHub.

So, the best hardware to use for mining AE (on the Testnet for now) is NVidia 1080 Ti or alternatively, the 1070 Ti.

Best regards,
The AE Team
