Title: scrypt n and X11 Post by: Uniphase21 on June 03, 2014, 02:13:59 PM Is there a post with some clear information on the pros and cons on each of these? Thanks for the help. Been searching for a few days and having trouble locating clear and concise data on this.

Been searching for a few days and having trouble locating clear and concise data on this. Basically, Scrypt-N has an adaptive N factor, which changes periodically. ASICs can only be designed for one N factor, which means that once the N factor changes, the ASIC is useless. http://www.reddit.com/r/vertcoin/comments/1zr9hy/faq_vertcoin_asicresistance_all_the_answers_you/ x11 is 11 algorithms combined. blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, echo. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.0 Basically they are both ASIC resistant. |
