I don't have a "Online presence with reasonable activity" in this forum
Can I still register for the airdrop?

Don't need be only in this forum, can be an online presence with reasonable activity anywhere
you just need to show that can help in some way
Do you have a portfolio? Github? Linkedin? Twitter? Blog?

Not sure if this helps, but blake-256 is faster and smaller than keccak.  


SHA-256 uses the Merkle–Damgård construction method
Blake-256 uses the HAIFA construction method which an improved Merkle–Damgård
Keccak uses the sponge construction method

SHA-256 is weak against length extension that's why they use a double hash as it is suposed to give resistance to that attack, Blake-256 is resistant to length extension due to the HAIFA construction method and Keccak is immune to length extension that's why they picked it for SHA-3 not for its speed

This is cool ref and will give you the background on different construction methods:
http://theglobaljournals.com/paripex/file.php?val=MTExNA==


Looks like FPGA implementation with blake-256 is much easier too (because of its simplicity/size)

Keccak was only chosen as SHA-3 finalist because it met the criteria better than blake-256.  This doesn't mean it is a better cryptocurrency hashing algo.

Fun fact:  Maxcoin quietly changed their algo from Keccak to blake-256 because it's a better hashing algo for crypto due to its speed/size.

We need FPGAs and eventually ASICS to create a sustainable long term network, so it seems this was a reasonable decision for Decred.

Thanks a lot

I appreciate this. I'm going to make a note and get a detailed answer for you. There are obviously some relatively intense pressures on getting this ready, so if I can't get you an adequate answer soon, I will get you one later, and share it here so everyone can see it. I apologise for missing this too, it can get a bit difficult to spot every question. Thanks for bringing it to light! There is also work being done on formulating an FAQ-type document, and this should be addressed alongside that as well.

Thanks  
I can't wait to create a post on that group saying: "COMPREM!" (BUY!) Wink

please stop paying attention to rizzlarolla
he's just a troll, a bitcoin fanboy trying to bother with endless questions.
He will never stop while receiving answers
He's on a thread called "answer de question above with a new question" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55701.msg13467853#msg13467853

And please answer this technical question posted by me here:

why was blake chosen instead of any of the other sha3 finalists? What does it have that is better for decred than skein or keccak, for example?

It was asked by the dev who created the first optimized miner for X11, on brazilian facebook decred group that already has 200 members for now (and growing). All of then really interested in investing in that currency.

He wondered if was some technical reason for the choice of blake256 instead the sha3 winner which is keccak.
There are in decred technical brief the advantages in relation to SHA2, but not in relation to sha3.

Here's the original question in brazilian portuguese: https://www.facebook.com/groups/667062416769204/permalink/667072613434851/?comment_id=667131273428985&reply_comment_id=667136583428454&comment_tracking=%7B"tn"%3A"R9"%7D

When i type ok in dcraddrgen the window doesnt close and keys.txt isnt generated in the folder, but instead it repeats the 'once you have stored the seed on a safe and secure location enter ok to erase...' any reason for this?

type "OK" in upper case

A moderate thread is worse than any FUD that are here.
It does seem that the dev team wants to hide or manipulate something.
Any unmoderated thread is like this, contains all manner of shit, experienced investors know this and that's not what makes a currency devaluing or it appear unprofessional.
A community does not need to be or seem professional, the dev team needs.
A community needs only be active and this it has been.
There is on op that is an unofficial thread.
I've known several investors who dump all their coins so a thread becomes moderate.

An example from another currency:

Sold everything that was left when I saw he started a self moderated thread.. thank god I did it

Can someone tell me about ~ how many VNL daily mining with 3 gh/s?
Thanks in advance

  guesstimate:  <~40/day average, ~maybe 60 on a good day w/half a dozen GPUs

Thanks

blah blah shit blah
blah blah i'm a bctalk beggar blah blah


you call me scammer just because I'm a good investor and know the time to enter and left some coins?

What fault do I have if you are a retarded bag holder?

As I said here, if the currency is good, it has nothing to fear for a pump'n'dump. How many times btc was pumped? The pump'n'dumps took the btc from deepweb and a value of $10 to put him where it is today.

Even shit coins as dash survive and keep an excellent value if the devs do not do bullshit and continue delivering good features.

Vanilla is the best currency in development right now. But it already has 1 year old and this is not few time.

Already could have a big hype because of zerotime. There is no problem about it. Only retarded think that hype and marketing are problems. In reality it is the lifeblood of any business.

John Connor already proved that delivers everything he promises, I have no reason to dump all my coins and leave VNL. But of course I intend to make some profit if there's a pump, the same way I do with BTC. And you can be sure my profits don't will hurt the currency because vnl already has proven that it is a good coin.

But what kind of thinking wait from a beggar like you, who puts to sale the  own profile to get a few cents.
