* New version of xFast mining client
* Mining profitability calculator (calculates hourly, daily or weekly profit for Bitcoin, Litecoin and CryptoNote-based currencies)

* Smart mining (the smart algorithm checks the most profitable currency to mine, and automatically switches between currencies to provide maximized profit. Smart mining can be turned on/off at any time.)
* 2 Factor Authentication

===GPU requirements===
Currently MinerGate supports NVidia cards with CUDA version 7.5, compute capability >2.0 and AMD cards with OpenCL 1.2; latest official drivers should be installed.

What's more, for Ethereum mining user's card should have at least 2 GB of RAM because of the size of Ethereum's DAG file, which is constantly growing.

If user's GPU meets these requirements, but is not detected by the software, user should send the logs of the application to the support team. They can be found in the menu bar of the application > Logs > MinerGate.

===ASIC mining===
ASIC miners can be used only for Litecoin mining on MinerGate, as other coins available for pooled mining are ASIC-resistant.

Please note that your ASIC should support Scrypt algorithm that LTC is based upon.

In order to connect to MinerGate pool, please download an alternative miner for Litecoin and enter the following address and port:

stratum+tcp://xmo-bcn.pro.pool.minergate.com:45585

==Advantages==
If you compare this platform with other mining pools, MinerGate has the following advantages:
* support for multiple languages;
* a large number of coins for mining;
* different types of rewards;
* easy to connect.

==Disadvantages==
MinerGate also has its drawbacks. One of the most important is the "Cloud mining" section. A beginner may find this option a convenient way to start to mine crypto-currency, but experienced miners know that cloud mining is better to use specialized services:
* [[HashCoins]] datacenter;
* [[Genesis Mining]].

When using these services, attachments will pay off much faster than on MinerGate. Also, the interface of these services is designed to work with cloud mining and much better suited for these purposes, you can compare it yourself
