I would support it because X11 results in less heat being produced during mining. Summer is on the way and cooling is a problem when it gets really hot. We might be in for a real scorcher this year like the year the tar started melting on the roads because it was so hot.
Same with scrypt-jane. But that's just a sign of a not very optimized miner imo. |

Why X11 and not e.g. scrypt-jane or scrypt-N? Also I'd like to point out that imo Litecoin is not that great, it's launch was highly misleading and it's rather likely the devs and/or a group of miners had a GPU miner from the beginning. (yada yada GPU/ASIC resistant, but don't tell anybody we consciously chose ridiculously low memory requirements [way lower than default scrypt] making GPU and ASIC easily possible)  |

Any CPU, GPU or even FPGA coin is insanely vulnerable.
Even with scrypt ASICs the mentality of scrypt miners might be such that no scrypt coin will be secure, since scrypt miners seem mostly to be scammers looking not to secure any blockchains but, rather, to jump around in a kind of bait-and-switch scam, fooling investors into imagining this that or the other scrypt coin is secure (due to its seeming to have hashing power securing it) while really none of that hashing power actually intends to secure the chain at all, rather it is basically eliciting bribes "how much will you pay me to abandon this chain and go mine your latest scam" kind of thing...
Maybe though if litecoin and DOGE adapt so as to be able to be merged together, one or both might manage to retain enough of the scrypt hashing power to eventually become secure?

I don't think any coin so far is ASIC resistant.

Err weren't the changes made to Q2C clients only cosmetic and some checkpoints? Nothing wrong with using an old version if nothing serious has been changed imo. Unless you operate a pool or exchange ofcourse. Personally I'd prefer the original dev over someone using bold text for his full post.  |

Not that hard. If you lose money due to this, blame yourself. However I would like this to be optional.

We need a github source if you want this coin on AllCrypt.com
The git is not updated.
Contact me when it is - I'm not spending time hunting down every coin that cant bother to be on an exchange.
Instead of doing his work dev likes to troll. -.- As if two weeks of downtime is nothing and didn't almost kill this coin... Not to mention the exchanges or anyone using Linux not being able to update. "Get stuffed" yourself dev. Calling your users with legitimate concerns (caused by you) "uneducated assholes", WTF?!  http://sd.keepcalm-o-matic.co.uk/i/keep-calm-and-get-stuffed-6.png |

Block 12096 came and went, difficulty still the same.

"networkhashps" : 604401, @OP: How often and by how much does the difficulty retarget? Quite long block times right now: 11196 2014-03-21 01:52:51

11187 2014-03-21 01:07:47 Are you sure KGW is properly implemented? From what I read it should adjust Difficulty every block?! Also check the post about a KGW exploit: https://forum.megacoin.co.nz/index.php?topic=2872.0 |

blah blah, GPUs aka everyone will dump scrypt and move to another algorithm.
How about "Phasecoin", the rotating algorithm coin that will cripple the ASIC movement? (this has probably already been done, I don't research too many coins)
Quark and it's clones do this, 6 different algos, 9 hashing rounds, the last 3 rounds are random. |
|

|
More hashpower doesn't mean more coins if the coin has a proper difficulty retarget mechanism.
|
|
|
|
Will CPU coins like Particle (what i mine on my laptop), Quark, FairQuark get a price rise because of this?
Those coins can also be mined with a GPU but not with an ASIC, so probably yes. |
