Need to add populace to webpage and first post
Populace is a usual quark clone with no new features, but for some reason it has a great community in China, now leading the vote on Mintpal oh never mind then. it is a pain to keep track of these quark clones that just rearrange the algos.

I checked out Sha1coin a while ago. It looked dead then and still does.

Hirocoin claims to be GPU coin.... Hirocoin and Darkcoin use the X11 algorithm. X11 does not give GPUs a huge advantage over CPUs. My CPUs are mining DRK right now.

Hash delivered - X11 does not give GPUs a huge advantage over CPUs electricity - i know x11 consumes less electricty when gpu mining. not sure if same is true for cpus.

Will take a closer look at that. Thanks sir.

I will add but this coin is very odd. It seems to be a members only thing and we were not invited.

i dont know. i only use win7 OK. Thanx for quick answer. I will try this for weekend and see for my self

I will add but this coin is very odd. It seems to be a members only thing and we were not invited. It's rather a philosophical question. They're not members-only according to their blog, so it's the informational asymmetry. Bitcoin was also not known for the 99.9% of its current users when it started, but you can always hop on the train.

Hirocoin claims to be GPU coin.... Hirocoin and Darkcoin use the X11 algorithm. X11 does not give GPUs a huge advantage over CPUs. All these 11 hash functions have efficient circuit implementation as a design criterion. So they're all very ASIC friendly, just like SHA256. If the GPU implementation doesn't have a huge advantage over CPUs, it can only be due to lack of proper optimization. This is all the "X11 whitepaper" has to say about X11: Darkcoin uses a new chained hashing algorithm approach, with many new scientific hashing algorithms for the proofofwork. X11 consists of blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, and echo. Because it is more complicated than a SHA256 ASIC implementation, the use of X11 will prevent the use of ASIC miners for the short-term to midterm future. It will also allow for a longer period of mining for CPU/GPU users. GPU miners that mine with the X11 algorithm are currently experiencing reduced power usage (up to 50%) and reduced heat generation compared to scrypt.

i dont know. i only use win7 OK. Thanx for quick answer. I will try this for weekend and see for my self Please update when you do. I'm mining DRK using Ubuntu. If you find significant increases in performance I may play a bit to try something also.

Is the GPU power savings (compared to other coins) also due to inefficient coding?
