3 ) How did Scrypt claim to be ASIC Resistant and was there any fact to it - 18 Fantom

At first sCrypt was created to be GPU resistant, which it really wasn't. This was the reason for Litecoin. People wanted to CPU mine but could not compete with GPU rigs. Naturally after sCrypt was ported to GPU's the next claim was ASIC resistance since Bitcoin Asics just came out. Once there was enough demand for sCrypt asics people started making them. So was there any fact? Well, I suppose you could say it was GPU resistant for a period of time and ASIC resistant for a period of time. The same can be said about any coin out there. Once its value reaches a certain point, its worth making asics for it. But no PoW is really ASIC resistant.

i beg to differ and soon i will have proof  its all about I/O  BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH Technical jargon technical jargon DONT pay me any attention move on

EDIT

ooops i said too much
EDIT EDIT
this would solve gpu anyway ...overhead

2 ) Who discovered the Cross Site Scripting Attack Vector for Google? - 25 Fantom

Indian hacker Mohit Kumar discovered the XSS vulnerability on Google’s domain, and wrote up a proof of concept.

I will take this as a yes, but please stop answering and allow others to answer as well, thank you!

1 ) What Came First, The Chicken or The Egg? - 10 Fantom


A long time ago there was a chicken-like bird. It was genetically close to a chicken, but wasn’t a full-blown chicken yet. Let it be a proto-chicken. So proto-hen laid an egg, and proto-rooster fertilized it. But when the genes from ma and pa almost-chicken fused, they combined in a new way, creating a mutation that accidently made the baby different from its parents. Although it would take millennia for the difference to be noticed, that egg was different enough to become the official progenitor of a new species, now known as the chicken. So in a nutshell, two birds that weren’t really chickens created a chicken egg.
So the answer is: The egg came first, and then it hatched a chicken.

This is the first proper answer I have heard, so people so yes others no without reason, you deserve the coinz, because of your good servitude for this great question, I award 17 Fantom More

Thanks a lot! So total 10+17 or 17? 

9 ) How to be a smartass and get SnapChats before it's destruction? - 28 Fantom

- btw I remember one another way - u should connect ur phone to PC and find temporary files. Not sure if it works NOW. Maybe they have fixed it.


PMed u for the distro too.

3 ) How did Scrypt claim to be ASIC Resistant and was there any fact to it - 18 Fantom

Scrypt claimed to be ASIC resistant because it uses a lot more memory in the algorithm than SHA256. Because of this fact, it was believed that it would be too difficult to design a ASIC chip that could run efficiently. This is because the use of extra memory consumes more electricity. It was believed that this would stop ASIC development, but it did not. An ASIC chip can be designed and built for any purpose, and any algorithm. Whether or not it is economical is another story.

8 ) Does mixing DarkSend with Ring Signatures make transactions any more anonymous? If so, then why - 18 Fantom

It can make transactions more anonymous, but all of the potential inputs must be the same or similar size otherwise anonymity can be compromised. Due to the improbability of all inputs within an anonymous set being the same or closely similar, the odds of making transactions more anonymous with this setup are astronomical.

5 ) In your opinion does PayCon affect PayCoin's Market by any way possible (must be specific) - 30 Fantom

In my opinion, PayCon definitely has an affect on Paycoin's market. Due CON being a parody of XPY it provides implicit negative marketing. And as we all know, any press is good press. Because CON brought attention to XPY in a satirical way it still allowed XPY more exposure and I think actually helped to possibly legitimize XPY (a little bit lolz).

You already answered, but I'll consider this one as well, I will have to disregard the rest so that even others can try

Your answer is more on the technical side....

Your answer is conceptual.....

Therefore, the coins will have to be split between the two

Duck you know you need to wait at least 24 hours before making a bump? i suggest that you wait the 24 hours othervise the mods can lock the thread because of this problem...

Well... GitHub: https://github.com/LordOfTheCoin/fantom, Windows: Some problems in UI, updated the Hub but have to recompile, will take ~2 Hours, F*king Slow PC

The git clone for libsecp256k1 in the README does not exist. What is the correct .git url?

So, I am trying to compile the qt wallet on Ubuntu and I got this error:

Code:

In file included from src/core.h:9:0,
                 from src/main.h:9,
                 from src/kernel.h:7,

 #include <gmpxx.h>
                   ^

make: *** [build/txdb-leveldb.o] Error 1

How should I fix this? Thanks.

Install GMP Libraries...

Well... GitHub: https://github.com/LordOfTheCoin/fantom, Windows: Some problems in UI, updated the Hub but have to recompile, will take ~2 Hours, F*king Slow PC

The git clone for libsecp256k1 in the README does not exist. What is the correct .git url?

There is a libs folder having the correct version of SECP256k1

[quantumgravity]

I installed the GMP libraries, rebooted, and I am still getting the same error 

[quantumgravity]

Okay, I figured it out. I just had to copy gmpxx.h into usr/local/include and the problem was solved! It's still compiling though. Takes a while on a core2 from 2008 lol

[quantumgravity]

WOW!! This is amazing work. Fantom is the next big coin for sure.

[quantumgravity]

You might want to take a look at the Statistics page in the qt wallet. The "Fantom Phases" do not match the POW/POS rewards in the OP.

I'm not really bothered with UI right now, I need a good coin with a Good Protocol.....
