I want the future to be fair

We all love Bitcoin and Litecoin, but they're not fair. Having to pay $5,000 for a machine that will break you even, if your shipment arrives on time, is not fair. The fact that the operator of a pool can get so close to 51% of the nethash is not fair. In fact it's dangerous. We shouldn't be trusting people with power, we should be trusting cryptography. I like what Vertcoin, Groestlcoin, Darkcoin, Execoin, and Groestlcoin stand for: trying to keep GPU mining alive and fending off the ASICs as long as they can. Certainly, it's cheaper, easier, and a less risky investment to get a GPU rig up and running than it is to jump on the ASIC train, but I think we can do better than that. GPUs are everywhere, but you constantly need to upgrade to the next model and who do you buy from? ATI and Nvidia, these are the only makers of profitable cards. Not exactly decentralised. Not to mention the wastefulness of resources being poured into all the redundant hardware components of a GPU mining rig that aren't necessary for hashing, but they do make entry into mining more expensive.

I think we can do better than that and I think Myriad can do better than that. We can have a coin with 5 mining algorithms. A coin that already taps into the Bitcoin ASIC market, and the Litecoin ASIC market, while still leaving room for the GPU miners and the CPU miners. Maybe some day there will be ASICs for all of the Myriad algorithms, but whoever comes up with a product will have to be pretty competitive because they're up against the existing ASIC markets and the GPU/CPU miners on an even playing field. I welcome diversity of hardware and competition. Imagine a world some day where anyone can pick up an ASIC for twenty bucks and keep it running in exchange for a few bucks profit a week. A free coke every week. Or maybe a chance to really help out putting food on the table if you are among the world's most poor. That to me sounds like a much safer network, and I don't know of any other coin that's had serious thought put into its design about how we'll get to this world some day.

Long live the Myrtopia.

Ill switch over to you guys for a while at least to spread the hash around I got like 6,000-7000Mhash with Skein so yayyy.

Myriad merchants:

full integration onto moolah.io's payment processor happening as we speak

As for Vertcoin, I definitely respect them and the community for everything have have done for GPU miners. I think the community will remain strong even with the real possibility of Scrypt-N ASICs down the road (nothing is ASIC resistant).

Bitcoin, Litecoin, Vertcoin and Darkcoin all have "mono-PoWs" (SHA256, Scrypt, Scrypt-N, and X11, respectively). Myriad is a "next generation" multi-PoW blockchain that allows 5 algorithms to mine (SHA256d, Scrypt, Groestl, Skein, and Qubit) and fairly receive equal block rewards equally between ASICs and GPUs while providing benefits to both.

Thanks for the support guys! Myriad's innovation is a benefit to all of Cryptoland and I hope the word keeps spreading. No premine, no IPO, no instamine. Just pure, honest innovation that will become more and more realized over time.

Don't forget to submit your mining hardware benchmarks for Myriad here: http://myriad.theblockexplorer.com/help.php

Then, as a bonus, post your submitted benchmarks here for 50 MYR each! http://www.reddit.com/r/myriadcoin/comments/242jg9/myriadcoin_mining_hardware_comparison_list_please/

I would say Darkcoin and Myriadocin are the only recent coins with real potential.

Darkcoin --> Anonymity innovation
Myriadcoin --> Multi-PoW innovation

This is Litecoin within the past hour. One pool (Coinotron) has about 48% of the nethash.
Looking at their recent blocks, Coinotron had found 8 blocks in a row!
I'd LOVE to see this be even possible with Myriad. 8 blocks in a row by a single pool? How about 8 blocks in a row by a single algorithm, let alone pool? I bet it rarely has ever happened.

Hey, some decent points being discussed here about your algo switcher: http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/255xxt/myriadcoin_sneak_peak_of_autoalgo_switching_gui/cheliwj?context=3

The biggest question in the alt community today is 'What can we do about Scrypt ASICs?' There are other important issues too, like privacy systems, alternatives to PoW, community, etc. But the biggest one is Scrypt ASICs because it's obvious they will have an enormous and lasting impact on the altcoin ecosystem in the near future.

Until about a year ago, nobody really paid any attention to altcoins. Namecoin was cool, and some were interested in Peercoin. That was it. Then Bitcoin ASICs came out, and over the course of a few months we saw a mass exodus of GPU miners who were now losing money. Everyone imagined it would be the death of GPU mining, but instead Litecoin saw a massive rise in hashrate (and price). In retrospect, it's pretty obvious that was going to happen. Why would people who invested time and effort into GPU mining suddenly give up when there's an option to keep going? They could keep GPU mining and flipping their coins to people who like Litecoin because:

There were and still are fears that ASICs, being all manufactured by a few small manufacturers and very expensive, are in the hands of the few = a more centralised network = vastly less secure, even if the hashrate grows exponentially.

Safety bet, reduced blocktime, and other lesser reasons for Litecoin investment I won't go into in this post

So GPU mining continued.

With the growth of Litecoin, people started actually paying attention to altcoins. But there was a problem. Sha256d ASICs were on the scene, so there was no point making a new sha256d-based PoW coin. The GPU miners were replaced by a much smaller group of ASIC miners, making the risk of 51% attack in a sha256d coin's infancy just too high. Thus was born the great Litecoin shitclone bubble.

Fast forward to today and Litecoin ASICs are coming out, and in the space of the next few months, just like happened a year ago, Scrypt GPU miners will be pushed out. Where will they go? To Vertcoin, to Darkcoin, Heavycoin, Myriad, ... well there's a number of options available, but they all take the stance of avoiding ASICs. And that's great because it encourages more distributed mining, more security, and more coins in the hands of more people. But how long can they run away from engineers with a growing incentive to mine more cheaply? Myriad is the exception to the others. It's the first coin that doesn't try to avoid or put off the ASIC problem. It instead slowly, carefully embraces and takes advantage of the situation.

20% of Myriads can be mined with sha256d ASICs (by the way your old ASIC junk is still profitable), and 20% with scrypt ASICs. The other 60% can be mined with GPUs (Skein, Groestl, or Qubit) and possibly even CPUs (Qubit, Groestl?). But let's say that Myriad takes off, as I think it will, and ASIC makers start to think about designing ASICs to hash Skein, Groestl, and Qubit. Each model they design could only possibly mine a maximum 20% of the coins. It took Litecoin a market cap of >300 million, some 600x greater than Myriad's today, for ASIC manufacturers to finally start rolling them out. And that was for a chance to mine 100% of the coins. If the ASIC designers wanted to get their hands on even a chance at cheaply mining the other 3/5 blocks, they would need to design 3 different models. That's a lot of work. And it means that, should there be ASICs available for all 5 of Myriad's algos, we will likely see a very diverse range of machines on the market, from probably a much more diverse range of manufacturers than we currently see in the Bitcoin and Litecoin ASIC markets. That diverse range probably means easy access and lower entry costs for miners. And there we'll have it, a world that didn't run away from the inevitable, but still managed to keep a well distributed network, a more secure network, a more democratic network, and one where wealth isn't as concentrated in the hands of the few.

So yeah. Myriad's kind of a big deal.

P.S. If I'm wrong about some shit, flame away. Don't hold back.

4 days in and looks like the Cryptsy traders are starting to realize what Myriad is.

Oh mama! No it has not yet.

Here's the latest numbers on the bounties (a slight bug in the display may cause a couple bounties to seem smaller than they really are--Waiting on WeGi for a fix).

Supernova's pool is a p2pool?

It remains to be seen if it is, but I think changing bitcoin into a multi-algo blockchain would be incredibly difficult. Any coin for that matter. You would need to add one algo at a time and hope nothing goes wrong.
