There's nothing in x16rv2 that makes it more technically difficult than x16r to implement on ASIC or FPGA.
It's probably only a matter of time and demand.
The difficulty went from 320 to 100 after the hardfork. Raven is profitable on the GPU again... FPGAs are already mining x16rv2, and porofitability on gpu is down the drain. It was profitable for a few hours only, just after the fork. |

An ASIC for x25x is technically possible but very unlikely. More info in the x25x whitepaper.

The difference between x16rv2 and x16r is just tiger, which is a pretty basic algorithm, already available as opensource cuda code on my m7 miner years ago, and as commercial miner used in software supporting my x22i and x25x.

Thanks for your support!
Indeed we are a long-standing project, given the context :-)
We'll soon be 6 years old.

I have updated the bounties, increasing the rewards.
We are especially sensible to the pool problem, so I increased its reward to 1M.

THANK YOU FOR THE LIST OF CURRENT EXCHANGES--
I just received the e-mail notice that Nova Exchange will be closing. Apparently, it will be closed, retooled, and re-opened again in the foreseeable future.
Is there any pool open? --scryptr
only suprnova as far as I know |

As for the Team, why don't you add more members? Maybe there are some community members who want to help and/or large bag holders with different set of skills that can give a hand or work with you guys.
We are always open for contribution :-) If anyone is interested, please join discord where the action happens. |

New Exchange listings for May , June and July!!!
I know txbit is one of them.
Do we know which others are coming?
BinanceD,Bittrex , Okex .... No, I don't think they will be listed on such prestigious exchanges. to list on Huobi, the team would have to spend over $ 3 million to get listed there, but while the business value was only at $ 2tr3. They are also not listed in Binance because Sinovate is Ethereum platform, Binance only accepts BEP2. hmmm ... I think Sinovate needs a lot of time to develop. They are just a small business that needs a lot of help. Sinovate has nothing to do with Ethereum. The code is based on bitcoin 0.17 but heavily modified and enhanced. We'll see if Huobi and binance are really impossible to enter :-) |

Dear SINOVATE Community!
TradeOgre wallets are having problems with withdraws and it can be fixed by only paying TradeOgre the same amount of coins in exchange of their wallet.dat just like we did with Stex Exchange!
With the hardfork we will have enough funds to pay to TradeOgre and fix their wallets.
Please do not send coins to TradeOgre for now because you will have problems withdrawing them!
We would like to solve the TRADEOGRE withdrawal problems and for this they will need to close the deposits and withdrawals very soon.
Please send all your coins from TRADEOGRE to STEX exchange as soon as possible and pull your buy orders from TO and give them back at STEX for now.
Thank you for your understanding.
SINOVATE TEAM
Stex is a Mafia exchange. All my coins were stolen there. They offered me no help and reacted antisocial. It is a worthless and criminal company. So, I am not going to move my coins to Stex. Is there a better solution? What happens if I leave my coins on TradeOrg? I'm sorry for your troubles but with stex I had the opposite experience: they've been honest and well behaving. They were quite helpful and trustable when dealing with wallet issues. |

True, but it's also true that you can fill the FPGA with custom made cores each executing RandomX instructions. FPGAs are plenty flexible, much more than GPUs, it only takes much more time to optimise.

The FPGA doesn't make N multiplications per cycle. It does N hashes per cycle, with N integer > 0 or, in the case of complex algorithms, 1/N.

By using PTX you're esentially using a proprietary language to prevent anything but a Nvidia product
or a Nvidia licensed product from mining your algo. That's one way to make an algo ASIC/FPGA resistant.
Doesn't need to be PTX. You need a pseudo Assembly language that can easily be translated to ptx before execution. The CPU miner would have to parse this language and create proper native binary before execution. (Create instructions in memory, flush the caches, then execute ) CPU verification is important for the pool/wallet/exchanges. Yeah, no PTX, that's what I was saying. ==> RandomX |

There are HBM equipped FPGAs already.
Problem is, even with restricted bitstreams, their ROI is close to infinity. Just like with ASICs.
So the next question is how many times can you access the HBM per cycle. In my algo proposal you will have a random stream of instructions for every new block. (15000 PTX instructions / 15 sec blocktime). On the GPU you will just run the ptx. (cuda will compile and cache the code before execution and it will take a few milliseconds). After the compilation has been done, you get 14.xx seconds left to run the compiled kernel in full speed. On the FPGA you cannot generate the VHDL code compile and flash in 15 seconds, so you need to make a CPU emulator. This is because it would probably difficult,slow or impossible to generate VHDL out of random instructions and run it without timing bugs. what will happen when cards compatible with the language are no longer produced? maybe you are planning a pump and dump coin so you don't care :-D |

Bitfreak is writing brand new code and we are all still on XCN as well.
About the relation between xcn and xcn2, I think we'll do a poll or something, when the time is right.

sorry to say but FPGA hashrate of x16rv2 will be the same as the old x16r

Will xcn change? Or die slowly like this
Development, while slow, is ongoing. Personally, I have interest in xcn and want it not only to survive this though moment for altcoins, but become one of the historical coins that brought innovation and stability to the crypto scene. Where is innovation? At present, it seems that because there is no support from large exchanges, and there is no popularity and trading volume, it is slowly dying. Does the team have plans at present? we just had our new web wallet and app. we are investigating an opensource pool, and willing to affer a bounty. sekker is going ahead quickly with his new era project, which will involve xcn payments. bitfreak is working on "xcn v2". did I forget anything? xcn v2?Can you give me a brief introduction? It's up to bitfreak, there's no public code nor paper. But I know he's been working on it for long and I've seen some pieces of code. |

Ok i was wrong about tradeogre. it's ok
What about stex? Do you like it better? |
