[ANN] SCRYPT HARD FORK BLOCK ON 256000

[azw409]

Can I suggest an alternative, fork to allow miners choice whether to use scrypt or sha256. This way all of the existing blockchain is still valid as would new blocks from sha256 miners. This would be far more likely to be accepted by more people also.

Those who have invested in ASIC's can continue to use their investment and the rest of us can competitively use GPU's for scrypt. The Bitcoin client would just need to check that each block either validates with sha256 or scrypt. You would need separate difficulty for each though, maybe such that each resolved to 20 minutes each. It needs some thinking about but I reckon this would be more palatable to most and still achieves what you need.

What exactly is suppose to be achieved?

The only reason OP wants to fork is so he can mine some easy Bitcoins. At the moment he can't mine jack, and butthurt about it.

Just a bunch of butthurt kids late to the party.

Yes, I definently agree.

I am creating a new fork of Bitcoin that will use Scrypt for hashing on block 256000.
The initial difficulty for scrypt will be 1 to give miners a chance at reliving the good old days of Bitcoin.

This is because the bitcoin network is going to be owned by China with ASICMINER, AVALON, BTCGARDEN, etc. Going back to GPUs would strength Bitcoin and protect the miners - the working class of Bitcoin.

We need to get all the users, miners, merchants on board. Please contact your mining pool and tell them to switch to Scrypt on block 256000. Point your GPUs at a scrypt miner. Get merchants, websites, casinos, stores to update to the hard fork.

Together, we can reclaim the glory of Bitcoin again.

Good one.  Some of the ASIC companies, and investers could be slightly unhappy if that happened.

So much lol. There is only one solution to that problem, and not one within your reach. Write to your senator.
