What other Blake-256 coins do you have in mind?

Yes, it's multi-algo. But every algo has auxPoW enabled so it can be merged mined from "above". This essentially turns it into a sidechain for any community that uses any of the algos. It's experimental, and more will be done to improve it over time once it's launched. One idea is two-way pegging.

I'll get it to you as soon as possible. Launch is still 4 days away. Dev is getting everything built before Christmas so I should have something in the next day or two.

Thanks!

Awesome.

I will always love Coinye because it is living proof that celebrities and money and lawyers cannot kill a cryptocurrency. Blockchains will live forever. Gayfish4life.

Status Update: http://www.reddit.com/r/Unitus/comments/2q1vcn/status_update_133_hours_till_launch/

Here is an incredibly basic visualization of how Unitus will act as a sidechain through mining merging of all 5 of its algos.

Note that ANY coins using X11, Blake256, or Yescrypt will be connected intrinsically if they enable merge mining with Unitus.

How will Unitus tokens be implemented and used? It's up to us and the limits of our creativity.
 

Do you know what auxPoW is?

This coin was concocted by a Myriad community member. We are experimenting with new crypto platforms that act as bridges between communities.

What can be done with a blockchain like this? Well, it essentially acts as a sidechain for Skein, Qubit, X11, Blake256, and Yescrypt.

What else? Anything that creative, innovative people can think of.

We'll have a list of the working mining software before launch, but if you've mined any of these algorithms before you can just use that software like normal.

/u/nzsquirrell on reddit (the dev) had this to say regarding the choices:

What you mean Maxxy? An X11 optimized miner?

Updated topic heading.

Glad you enjoy it. nzsquirrell should be in contact with you on the subreddit about this.

Required Update - 0.9.3.1

• Version 0.9.3.1 has been released, source + windows binaries up on Github now (https://github.com/unitusdev/unitus/releases/latest).
• This update fixes a bug in the block weight calculation algorithm, and has been derived from changes in Myriad released today by /u/8bitcoder (See http://redd.it/2rycha).
• New algorithm kicks in at block 25300 - in approx. 7 days - please update before then.

About

Unitus = United

1. Joined into a single entity.
2. Involving the joint activity of multiple agents.

Unitus is about bringing together smaller crypto-currencies and the communities that support them into a larger group capable of greater change, influence and innovation, whilst allowing each to maintain their own unique identities.

Every aspect of this project will be driven by the community, for the community.

Specifications

- Modern Wallet - Forked from Bitcoin Core 0.9.3, with significant influence from Myriadcoin (Multi-Algorithm) and Dogecoin (Merge-Mining)

- Multi-Algorithm:

• Blake256 (8-round)
• Skein
• Qubit
• X11
• Yescrypt

- All algorithms can be merge-mined (AuxPoW)

- Each algorithm will have a 5 minute block time, resulting in a 1 minute block time for the whole network

- Fair Distribution:

• No Premine / IPO / ICO / Developer Donation. Just pure reward
• First 2,000 blocks increase from 1 UIS to 100 UIS (approx. 33 Hours)
• Every 7 days / 10,080 blocks thereafter the reward decays by 1% (compound)
• Decay continues until we reach 2 UIS (approx. June 2022, block 3,933,199) - and then this remains static for each block thereafter
• Mined blocks mature after 180 confirmations
• No free transactions - minimum fee is 0.01 UIS

- Peer-to-Peer Port: 50603
- RPC Port: 50604

I'll take care of it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Correct response dude
