List of Cryptocurrency Hashing Algorithms

Hashing algorithms are used for mining coins of cryptocurrencies. There is a large set of different hashing algorithms. The OG of them was SHA-256d, used by Bitcoin. Since then, a lot more for different purposes have been used or created by different cryptocurrencies. The reason for this large set is that different hashing algorithms have different use-cases. For instance, some of them are extremely difficult to mine using GPUs or ASICs (application-specific integrated circuit), and are thus only mineable profitably using CPUs. One example here is Cryptonight.
