PoS is not as secure as PoW and PoW is easy enough to 51% attack lately.  PoS also promotes capital concentration just like PoW mining.

There's a saying that people that get rich [quickly] go "soft in the head" and start tilting at windmills.  Use your imagination to figure out the rest.

I doubt it.  Lolminer, Smartminer and EWBF are the next generation of Equihash miners.  Windows with EWBF especially.

Why are the quarterly and half-year rates currently above 84.88% per annum, though?  Is 84.88% just a weighted average of all term periods?

I think it all just comes down to the definition of "centralization".  I personally don't care about it in terms of corporate power, but the network itself.

But, point taken on the price of a rig vs an ASIC.  But, an ASIC going for $900 isn't going to be very profitable (if at all) vs the latest and greatest at $10K.  It would have to be one serious burger flipper to afford it.

Ah, well it crashes before it fully loads, so there's no way to access that information at all.  Any other ideas?

Where is the debug.log supposed to be?  It's not in %APPDATA% nor the program's directory.

That's true to a certain extent, but the other side of the coin is promoting decentralization which is easier to do with GPU's that the "common man" still can barely afford compared to FCFS ASIC's that only "rich capitalist farmers" can buy.

No one should be under the illusion that the parameter change for higher memory requirements will equate to ASIC prevention.  Resistance is not prevention.  Only delay.  The French Resistance certainly did not defeat the Nazi's.

Thanks!  I'm still having the same crashing problem even a couple of minor versions later, so I'll look for the debug log.

I haven't checked on this in about a year.  So what's the TL;DR on the epic fail with the IGNIS/ARDR listing/launch, whatever?

Not sure that is going to help much.  It's mostly just checking off disclaimers and/or providing proof of past contributions.  That may stop leakers (n00bs) but not haters (other pool owners).  Better is requiring KYC/AML and not allowing the banned countries (USA, China) to contribute.

Very remote unless they pay to develop a native app which makes no sense as they have their own hardware wallet.  But you can use MEW to access the tokens as per usual.

BTW, EWBF, please don't compile with CUDA 9.1.  It has serious bugs and has been superseded by 9.2.

192_7 and 144_5 are more memory intensive, not calculation intensive, so they will produce substantially lower hash rates.  Perfectly normal.

So, it seems like Zerocoin is the only one with 144_5?  Are there any other coins using these parameters?

There's one in every bar (or pub).  He's truly one of a kind.  Relentless.  Obsessed.  But hilarious.

That's why it's called "distributed ledger technology".  The form does not matter, only the meta-concept.

I assume that applies to the free wallet, also?  e.g. it's $1000 in the OP but $500 on the ECOMI website.

Anyway, I think ECOMI is doing good with the bounty program to drive attention to its ICO, although it might be a tad bit too generous.

Could you explain more what this is?  It's not clear.  A wait list for what, exactly?

Nice to see EWBF alive again!  So which coins are using 192_7 currently?

I'm curious to know how easy it will be for Bitmain to update to these alternative parameters also.  Otherwise these hard forks to avoid ASIC's will be pointless.
