Telegram Blake_CommunityIntroduction to Blakecoin by Bzyzny:
https://blakecoin.org/Blakecoin_Introduction.pdfBlakecoin is now Merged Mined with Photon, Other coins due to join the merge in the futureWhat is Merged Mining? Familiarize yourself now:
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/273/how-does-merged-mining-workBlakecoin Wallet is on Github
https://github.com/BlueDragon747/BlakecoinBlake-256(optimized) is faster than Scrypt, SHA-256D, Keccak, Groestl
The algorithm was written as a candidate for SHA-3, Based on round one candidate code from the Sphlib 2.1 library and reduced the round function to 8 rounds.
"Advantages
Design
• simplicity of the algorithm
• interface for hashing with a salt
Performance
• fast in both software and hardware
• parallelism and throughput/area trade-off for hardware implementation
• simple speed/confidence trade-off with the tunable number of rounds
Security
• based on an intensively analyzed component (ChaCha)
• resistant to generic second-preimage attacks
• resistant to side-channel attacks
• resistant to length-extension"
https://131002.net/blake/blake.pdfWhy Blakecoin beats other coins in the long run:
- The Blake-256 algorithm hash rate is just under 3x faster on the GPU and just over 2x on the FPGA compared with Bitcoin
- Blakecoin uses a custom asymmetrical difficulty re-target algorithm since it was released which has worked well
- The reward for mining Blakecoin does Not decrease over time it only increases with block height and difficulty
- No restriction on any platform as Blakecoin does not include artificial *Security* or *Resistance* that reduce mining hash rate and power efficiency
- Already has planned use for Blakecoin as a currency storage between MMO systems with prototypes in development
- Designed to be Merge Mine Friendly
- Block reward is 25 coin + inflation (square root of (difficulty * block height))
- No reduction of block reward
- Cap in place to reduce the difficulty jumps upwards
- Block target time is 3 minutes and retargets every 20 blocks
- Total of 7 Billion coins
- Block maturity 120 (+20 buffer, 140 total)
Forked from Bitcoin reference wallet 0.8.6
8 round Blake-256 is the fastest!
