Kimoto's Gravity Well ported to SHA-256D

I have no idea why nobody hasn't done it before, so I did.

It's a dream come true for SHA-256D coins because you can design without care for difficulty retargets.  

SHA-256D ASICs are only getting more popular.  The coins they mine should be up to the latest in technology.

If you don't believe me, check the AmKoin block chain.  KGW lookbehind is set for 1 hour on a 7m block time.

Throw 10Th/s on the network and the coin will normalize in 120 minutes.   Yank it off and it will normalize again in another 120.  Over that time, still an average 7m block time.

For coins designed with shorter block times ... you get the picture.

Check out the GitHub codebase.  I included a few extra lines that look like sloppy coding, but will assist other SHA-256D developers to integrate KGW into their coins.

well done on copying and pasting your first bit of code, post worthy.

  Bad time coming soon for asic miners

Grat's on making yet-another-environmentally destructive codebase in the name of "ASIC resistance".

How is something 'SHA-256 resistant', anyway?

Sometimes cutting and pasting is more clever than plowing into a brick wall.

Always a good time for trolls.

How's that?

Are we going to run out of electricity or is bitcoin going to disappear?

The only thing any coin forked from bitcoin can ever hope to be is another bitcoin.

That is, unless one of these would be geniuses would care to reinvent the entire blockchain/mining/transaction system.

Otherwise it's just a coin that eats more energy than SHA-256D and requires more physical resources (read: pollution and waste). 

That's just the numbers.  It's just math.
