How to Mine SWAP (XWP): Complete Beginner’s Guide
Welcome to Swap,
Swap is the first CryptoNote coin securing their network by implementing mining with the Cuckaroo Cycle PoW.
Community developed crypto-currency striving for fairness, transparency, security, and ease of use.
Simplest PoW algorithm.
“With a 42-line complete specification, Cuckatoo Cycle is less than half the size of either SHA256 or Blake2b. While trivially verifiable, finding a 42-cycle, on the other hand, is far from trivial, requiring considerable resources.”
— John Tromp
Most efficient way to find cycles.
Step one is removing edges that are not part of a cycle (99.9%). Step two is a backtracking graph traversal to find all cycles. Swap uses 32 edge trimming cycles.
Lean and mean mining.
Miners use 1 bit per edge and 1 bit per node. Finding node bits in random sequence causes a bottleneck which makes mining memory latency bound. The majority of this form of mining is done in a very simple way.
Decreased hash confirmation time.
Less server overhead making processing more efficient.
CryptoNote and Cuckaroo29s hybrid monster.
Swap is keeping CryptoNote for transactions with anonymity features and user friendliness. Meanwhile, for mining, adopting Cuckaroo29s with superior network protection and stability. CryptoNight mining is vulnerable to FPGA and ASIC network attacking.
Cuckaroo29s vs Cuckaroo29
Cuckaroo29s uses 32-cycles while Cuckaroo29 uses 42-cycles. Both cycling ratios produce similar performances.

Specs
Progressive proof of work algorithm: Cuckaroo29s hashing improves verification speed substancially making block propagation much faster.
Private by default: CryptoNote protocol based privacy standards for transactions.
BulletProof technology: Decreases cryptographic proof sizes.
15 second block time: Faster confirmations and higher transaction throughput.
Reduced block sizes: Improved network performance and stability.
Reasonable transaction fee: Establishes a working economy discouraging the mining of empty blocks.
Limited supply and non-linear emission curve: Encouraging early adoption and early network security.
Feeless: Born without governance fees and staying without governance fees. Swap does use miner fees to incentivize network security.
No premine: Equal, fair, and open community release.
Supply & Emission
Total Supply: 18,400,000 coins before tail emission.
