^ Indeed, it's mostly the idiotic new users who are getting pulled into this mess and then 1) trying to pull in others with useless spam posts and 2) crying when they get burnt.
'BTE is trying to use multiple crypto algos in case SHA256 or scrypt ever have vulns.'
BTE has no developer skill behind it.
'Trying' is the important modifier in that sentence. I promise you, anyone that is capable of implementing that feature is not going to be interested in working on bte. If you recall, RUC is currently the only coin to implemented a dual algorithm system and it took them a very long time, even with developers that are actually somewhat competent.
We could also argue that the failure to modularize bitcoin functionality is the real culprit. Compare bitcoin to the absolutely beautiful libbitcoin and you'll see what I mean.
Why should we need surgeons to add functions that really involve nothing more than library calls and a way of relating the work of one function to the other? How many hashes is scrypt worth versus SHA256 on the same hardware? That's the only calculation you really need. Or for that matter cryptos like tiger.
