First i say that i do not know much about specifics of how the diff change algos and stuff works. So not sure if i make any good sense.
But what about such idea: When multipools enter they cause spike in network hash rate. and as hash rate increases diff increases i do not know if it is linear relation or not.
But what if in case of big spike in hash rate change, the difficulty rate would overreact. So lets say 600mh enters suddenly network then diff would jump exponentially (overreacting) and would take some time to calm down to the level it should be at such network hashrate. Like creating resistance or inertia. So when Multipool jumps in it must initially stay in not profitable environment and wait for it to become profitable. So all kind of jumping is discouraged.
And if network hasrate grows in normal slow rate then such resistance would be practically non existent.
This seems like a good idea. Anyone have reason why this is a bad idea?

LOL Nah, I don't trust it, I live in France so if this wasn't a scam, we would already hear about it in the french bitcointalk part And seriously.... 1 Gh in this small pizzabox, what the fuck In fact, even not in a 1u rack, 1 GH idiot scam, 200 mh in scrypt-n would be ok but 1Gh... Looks like a total scam to me as well. 1GH Scrypt-N? I guess that would make it 2GH Scrypt, right, or will ASICs that can do Scrypt-N not scale the same as GPUs? Also, isn't the first N-Factor adjustment coming in January? I would assume it's theoretically possible to make an ASIC that will handle any N-Factor, but it will still scale like GPUs (and it would need a lot of RAM I believe in order to be able to run higher N-Factors effectively).

Today I thought of starting a project ..... but apparently some have already done it Anyone know who owned of this domain? http://vertmap.com/I was pleasantly surprised

Another question on Stealth Transactions:
Where exactly are the coins in between the time you send them and when they show up on the block explorer? Are blocks with Stealth Transactions exclusively SX, or can SX be mixed with "normal" transactions in a block (I'm guessing this is the case)?
As far as I can tell, the problem right now appears to be that many (most?) VTC wallets/servers are not running the latest code, so they don't support SX and thus they won't relay any coins from an SX. So I guess what needs to happen is that a pool/miner that supports SX needs to find a block, and only then can the transaction show up. If that's the case, is there some way to find out the percentage of nodes being found by SX enabled pools/miners -- and probably light a fire under the pools that haven't updated?

When you send to SX address, it will be send in next block and will be registered in blockchain as transaction to some random wallet address that is not associated with receiver address.

It's going to have a steady growth over the following days to ~ 0.02

Vertcoin come up again.
It's going to have a steady growth over the following days to ~ 0.02 The only thing growing steadily will be the electricity bill with this fucked up self-proclaimed asic resistant coin. I used to be in Vertcoin earlier when a Coindesk article came out and then I correctly realized why sell a coin just on the basis of asic resistance and that too one that just is worse in terms of energy?

Actually energy is the limiting factor for pretty much any miner. So the total energy consumed by any given PoW network will reach the same limits. The power just runs through different hardware - and this community would rather that hardware be equally and easily accessible to everyone.

Just got aggravated by constant FUD attacks from ymer in Darkcoin thread for what appears to be months now. Having being at the receiving end of such attacks, I know how exhausting it can be. Don't intend to rile you guys up. Enjoy.

Stealth addresses rely on the Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman algorithm, originally used by Bitcointalk.org forum member ByteCoin, to generate an anonymous key agreement between payors and payees, enabling them to share a “secret” that can be used for them to divide funds. A step-by-step diagram illusrates how Stealth addresses work in four steps: The payee publishes a public key ‘Q‘ and a corresponding private key ‘d‘. The payer generates a key pair where the private key = ‘e‘ public key of ‘P‘ where ‘P‘ is the transaction. The payer calculates ‘S=eQ‘, where ‘S‘ is a shared secret between the two parties. The payee calculates ‘S=dP‘ to get ‘S‘. With the secret shared, either side can calculate an offset to ‘Q‘, which acts as the address. The payee then checks the transaction, and if the address matches, spends the funds.
