I pretty much agree with your concerns, but SegWit's partial malleability fix will enable live atomic swaps. Has anyone invented another way to do this yet? I think it would be very beneficial for Myriad to be listed on the decentralised exchanges that are coming.

I think we need to change the topic to:

[ANN][XMY] Myriad | *PLEASE UPDATE* to 0.14.2.3 for SegWit activation | Multi-Algo, Fair, Secure

There are currently two bounties each worth $3900 USD for development work to replace two of our PoW's. See reddit for details.

Qubit is not supported anymore.  It was replaced with Yescrypt (CPU mining).

There's a giveaway going on at reddit.com/r/myriadcoin

Wow, you know I don't work for Bittrex, right? You could argue that Bittrex didn't handle it perfectly. Fine. I'm not here to defend them. This is the Myriad page, not Bittrex. And Myriad is a community project that I joined just as anyone can. Although I had a positive experience with Bittrex's MYR to XMY switch. Let that be the end of it please. I have no reason to be ashamed so calm down.

I'm sorry this happened to you, but I don't feel it's Bittrex's fault. They do state in their terms that orders are removed after 28 days, which is different from other exchanges. I know in this world nobody has time to read the fine print anymore, but it is your responsibility if you're trading to find out this info. Just take it as a lesson.

Merge mining is opportunistic, not an endorsement.

If this coin is not fairly launched, how do you explain the fact that block 0 came after Myriad was announced on this thread, huh?

Man you've just been repeating your 8bitcoder conspiracy theory for years. Your threads just link to more threads. You have no proof. This is the Myriad inflation history chart:




It's not as smooth as it could have been maybe... But it's still better than 90% of altcoins! And you can look at the first few pages of this thread and see that this coin was fairly launched. In addition, this coin is 3 and a half years old and still alive. It's one of the original 150 pokémon. So what are you criticising exactly? It's difficult to think of more than a couple of coins that are more 'fair' than this one. Out of what, 1000 by now? Though I have only checked out a few hundred of those, so I could be way off. Plus multi-algo arguably makes it more fair too.

Myriad is not similar to other coins. It was launched by an anonymous dev over 3 years ago and since then has been maintained by many different community members at different times. There is no official 'team' to speak of, so nobody can promise you a roadmap. This is a decentralised network and nobody can predict the future of how this coin will develop unless they own the majority of hash power. Different people are working on different projects for this coin.

As for the lack of a whitepaper, I do agree, it's been an issue since Myriad was launched. Nobody has ever provided any mathematical proofs that multi-algo is more secure or even any technical arguments. Also, the way that it actually works in Myriad coin has changed over time and might change again. Myriad is just an experiment, based on a hunch that adding more algos increases decentralisation. So far it hasn't been proved wrong yet in over 3 years...

— Myriad has no premine or instamine. Many other coins also say this, when in fact they are lying! You have to verify yourself using a block explorer.

— Myriad's focus is multi-algo, at least until we perfect it. Many multi-algo coins don't take the concept seriously. People here have invested in Myriad because they think multi-algo is the answer to ASIC centralisation. It's a deep subject and a lot to think about for a small market altcoin. We don't need to be adding other projects just for the sake of hyping when the underlying fundamental value is multi-algo and there's still a lot of research and development that needs to be done on that.

This is just my opinions from another community member.

I'm not sure what leetcoiner is talking about but if you check reddit.com/r/myriadcoin you will see the devs are often discussing with other community members.

Further discussion about PoW change (with 1,500,000XMY bounty!) here: https://www.reddit.com/r/myriadcoin/comments/69725k/1500000xmy_bounties_for_whoever_releases_a_pow/

A couple of years ago Bryce Weiner said some company hired him to do a talk about a Myriad airdrop in Brazil, which never happened. Before or since then, Bryce had nothing to do with Myriad.

Here is a good article where you can see for yourself about the fairness of altcoin mining schedules: https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20170112060242/http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=a_massive_investigation_of_instamines_and_fastmines_for_the_top_alt_coins

As you can see, Myriad was fairly launched, and this is actually very rare. Less than 10% of altcoins are fairly launched. You can also confirm this yourself using a block explorer, of course.

Also note that the original dev, 8bitcoder, is still around after 3 years and posts regularly on /r/myriadcoin ...

I wonder what you're trying to achieve with these posts. Push the price down? Well, we all know Myriad is the original, with CPU mining, and no premine or instamine, unlike DGB. DigiByte is riding a wave on SegWit right now. We Myrians congratulate you for your progress, but Myriad continues to have its own merits, and a market cap about 1/16th the size.

It's slow to start and speeds up.

It's Bittrex and Polo that need to update....
