I think SHA-256 has been a major player for a long time, but more recent algorithms like Scrypt and X11 are also worth mentioning. It's fascinating to see how they each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

This is a great resource for understanding the evolution of cryptocurrency algorithms. However, it's important to remember that not all algorithms are created equal when it comes to security. It's crucial to do your own research and consider the potential risks before investing in any cryptocurrency.
