Introduction to Blakecoin by Bzyzny:
https://blakecoin.org/Blakecoin_Introduction.pdf

Blakecoin is now Merged Mined with Photon, Other coins due to join the merge in the future

What is Merged Mining? Familiarize yourself now: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/273/how-does-merged-mining-work

Blakecoin Wallet is on Github

Blake-256(optimized) is faster than Scrypt, SHA-256D, Keccak, Groestl Grin

The algorithm was written as a candidate for SHA-3, Based on round one candidate code from the Sphlib 2.1 library and reduced the round function to 8 rounds.

"Advantages
Design
• simplicity of the algorithm
• interface for hashing with a salt

Performance
• fast in both software and hardware
• parallelism and throughput/area trade-off for hardware implementation
• simple speed/confidence trade-off with the tunable number of rounds

Security
• based on an intensively analyzed component (ChaCha)
• resistant to generic second-preimage attacks
• resistant to side-channel attacks
• resistant to length-extension"

Why Blakecoin beats other coins in the long run:

The Blake-256 algorithm hash rate is just under 3x faster on the GPU and just over 2x on the FPGA compared with Bitcoin
Blakecoin uses a custom asymmetrical difficulty re-target algorithm since it was released which has worked well
The reward for mining Blakecoin does Not decrease over time it only increases with block height and difficulty
No restriction on any platform as Blakecoin does not include artificial *Security* or *Resistance* that reduce mining hash rate and power efficiency
Already has planned use for Blakecoin as a currency storage between MMO systems with prototypes in development
Designed to be Merge Mine Friendly

Block reward is 25 coin + inflation (square root of (difficulty * block height))
No reduction of block reward
Cap in place to reduce the difficulty jumps upwards
Block target time is 3 minutes and retargets every 20 blocks
Total of 7 Billion coins
Block maturity 120 (+20 buffer, 140 total)

Forked from Bitcoin reference wallet 0.8.6

8 round Blake-256 is the fastest!
