XCoins and everything else is shit?

[rikkejohn]

We have gone X-crazy and PoS obsessed, but I don't quite see the advantage unless you really do need secrecy or unless your PoS will actually be worth more than selling your coin when it hits its peak. PoS seems redundant unless you hold the coin for the future.

But anyway, is it all about X nowadays?

Personally I would take a SHA3 over all the above.

Genuinely interested in explanations. Crypto has moved on quickly over the last year, and I'm apparently out of the loop.

There is nothing wrong with X coins. Just look at DRK. You can find a lot of information in the main thread, website and many other news sites online.

But anyway, is it all about X nowadays?

Pretty much so for the last few weeks and intensifying. I'm afraid that I find it quietly amusing because chaining hash algos may well have the effect of weakening the cryptographic security of the coin.

We generate these charts from our db:

I can break the figures down further into per-month if people think it's important to get a precise handle on rates of increase.

or you can do it yourself by querying our SPARQL endpoint.

There are two ontologies (one oriented to blockchain, one with wider scope) here:

Seein' as you were rash enough to pimp a coin in a trust discussion:

A descendant of LimeCoin:

Black mark for failing to start with a fresh fork of Litecoin 0.8.7 and a full commit history. May be quite well-intentioned but will struggle to keep up with other better-resourced coins.
