Title: [GIVEAWAY] [PHOTON] 2500 PHO PER USER Post by: ajax3592 on March 08, 2014, 01:47:24 PM Photon is a cryptocurrency using the Blake 256 Algorithm. It is a new project designed to function well now and with future technology in mind.
Photon is the second coin to use this unique design (modeled after Blake Coin) and will be merge-mined soon in a pool with Blake Coin. The algorithm was written as a candidate for SHA-3, Based on round one candidate code from the Sphlib 2.1 library and reduced the round function to 8 rounds. ADVANTAGES Design simplicity of the algorithm interface for hashing with a salt Performance fast in both software and hardware parallelism and throughput/area trade-off for hardware implementation simple speed/confidence trade-off with the tunable number of rounds Security based on an intensively analyzed component (ChaCha) resistant to generic second-preimage attacks resistant to side-channel attacks resistant to length-extension Block Explorer / Crawler http://162.243.101.139:2750/ Contact Dev @cinnamon_carter on Twitter SPECIFICATIONS Blake-256(optimized) is faster than Scrypt, SHA-256D and Keccak Each Block award is 32768 + inflation (square root of (difficulty * block height)) No reduction of block reward Cap in place to reduce difficulty jumps upward. Block target time is 3 minutes and retargets every 20 blocks Total of 90,000,000,000 coins (yes 90 Billion --- Photons are plentiful in the universe) Block maturity 140 GPUs run even cooler than SHA-3 while mining blake-256. Thus saving electricity and carbon footprint.
