This map is made about coins with large marketcaps, or coins that haven't come out yet but it can be expected that they will have a large marketcap based by current developments.

When Myriadcoin is worth more, I will definitely like to add it.

No need to update the link Neuro, it's always the same one. I just update the contents with new versions when a new one needs to be released.
Keep it up guys, you're doing a great job

best of luck!

I agree. I have been touting Myriadcoin as one of the biggest innovations in the PoW cryptocurrency world. It is definitely a step forward. Unfortunately, it still doesn't change the fact that a lot of electricity and processing power is wasted in the process. Pretty much all scientists agree global warming is real and PoW only accelerates that. I see PoS or a variant of it as being the ideal solution for consensus mainly for this reason. Why increase emissions unnecessarily simply to reach decentralized consensus when it is not needed because PoS is sufficient at performing the same job? Also.. all of the processing power could actually be used to do something useful to society instead of simply securing a block chain, such as solving cancer or assisting other scientific research. Primecoin is a good example of a PoW algo that is actually useful to society.

These are my biggest concerns about PoW, not the centralization of it. All systems.. PoS and PoW.. inevitably tend towards centralization eventually. PoW tends towards centralization in mining pools and large farms setup with cheap power which utilize the economies of scale ASICs provide. PoS tends towards centralization with the need for check points to prevent certain attacks (or at least in the current variants of PoS.) DPoS works on the realization that all systems inevitably tend towards centralization, ad it gives you a way for stake holders to control that centralization. Stake holders choose who becomes a delegate, with PoW you cannot choose who secures the block chain.. whoever buys mining power can do it. This helps keep nefarious actors out. Also, you can vote in developers and people creating important core services for the coin as delegates to compensate them for doing so. Therefore, a DPoS coin can hire employees that work for the cryptocurrency... PoW can obviously only do this via donations. The use of only 101 delegates allows block times to be reduced to a little as 10 seconds and process many transactions a second.. something that is very hard to achieve (maybe impossible) with PoW. There are many benefits of DPoS over PoW in my mind which far outweigh the highly unlikely attack vectors, and that is why I support it over PoW alternatives.

New MyriadSwitcher version 0.2.27 released

to adopt the new API.
also replaced Mintpal with Cryptsy for exchange rates

It's been a while so perhaps some new ideas have subconsciously materialized inside your heads and are waiting to be scribed down.

Advantages of multi-PoW and is it enough?

A) Better blockchain security (Note: I feel this must be proven more over time since nobody has given a full-fledged technical explanation of why it's superior. HOWEVER, as this year's crop of altcoins try to stay relevant through the winter and gain momentum heading into 2015, a big factor is protection against 51%ers and timewarpers by those who are greedy or just simply don't want to see any other altcoins succeed. If Myriad's blockchain is so well-armored against attacks on a theoretical rise to the top, that in and of itself is worth it's weight in gold bitcoin.)

B) Decentralization of mining. 5 algorithms with equal importance. SHA-256d, Scrypt, Skein, Qubit, and Myriad-Groestl. All algorithms are arguably as cryptographically sound as you'll need for a cryptocurrency, but should one fail it won't be as catastrophic as a cryptocurrency relying on 1 algorithm failing.

C) ASICs and GPUs can coexist better. SHA256 ASICs do not compete for the same Myriadcoins that Skein GPU miners mine despite both solving Myriadcoin blocks. Should Myriad become worthwhile for the manufacturing of Skein, Myriad-Groestl, and Qubit ASICs, this point will become obsolete but will likely result in a new advantage...

D) ...More competitive ASIC prices across all 5 algorithms. A few large companies have dibs on SHA256d ASICs, but should ASICs come out for Myriad's other algorithms it will likely provide a more diversified production environment that should result in companies undercutting other companies in price. A lot of assumptions here, but it is not unreasonable to think this would be the case.

E) A sidechain paradise. Part of this description can be found in my write-up on merge mining and block "tipping" , something that still hasn't been utilized, however. But 5 algorithms means plenty of flexibility when it comes to creating an innovative, comprehensive financial platform.

Any more?

It always amazes me that PoW fanboys never give a flying f*ck about Myriadcoin. I mean if they truely believed in PoW, they would be supporting Myriadcoin, because it's the most secure of all PoW cryptos, but no, all they do is care about their mining profits, that's why PoW is dead, because miners dump most of what they mine, and that's not going to change.
