[ANN] EntropyCoin [ENC] Scrypt-N

[dE_logics]

Yes, going to try. I have had several suggestions in pm that are good. It sounds like 2048 is the one that everyone thinks would be good:

I'll look at the options over the weekend. We started getting hammered today with attempted attacks on the current game so it has been shut down for now. I guess we should be flattered that people want ENC that bad. I do have some other ideas unrelated to games, so we'll see what the futre holds.

It would be great if we could get more pools and miners online as well. I know there's a ton of other coins out there, but we have been going for two and a half months now. It would also be good to get on some of the bigger exchanges now that we're a bit more established.

As always, thanks for the support!

How exactly will you be distributing the rewards via this game?

If everyone votes after an hour, this's easily going to make it within a week or so.

Bookmark the vote link.

Also, dev: please don't implement PoS, there seems to be a fad nowadays.

:)Hello, you have a good idea of the COIN, good application of currency hope there will be more open

Well, personally i thought about that version of 2048: http://games.usvsth3m.com/2048/boobs-edition-21/ but yours proposition is also decent

OH MY GOD!!!!

More votes on swisscex, we're not that far...

[dE_logics]

Can you please specify how many blocks Kimoto Gravity Well considers for difficulty retargets?

[etcdev]

de_logics - It should be every 2 blocks

It looks like BecausePool is down.

Hash Rate still strong around 60 Mh/s though.

We need some more pools! Trying to contact some to get us added. Please contact as well if you know any good pools out there.

[dE_logics]

de_logics - It should be every 2 blocks

Is it difficulty retarget every 2 blocks or is the PastBlocksMass 2 blocks?

[etcdev]

Yes, the PastBlocksMass is every 2 blocks. This was introduced from Spain Coin when the upgrade was made to Scrypt-N (as you can see in the code). The actual difficulty retarget should be every block.

[Q_R_V]

I noticed something weird. Stats from the pool says:

Est. Avg. Time per Round (Network)   2 minute 25 seconds

but in specs is stated

1 minute blocks

If you count number of blocks per day it appears that data from the pool are correct (block every 2 minutes), but on the first page of the topic and on official page it is 1 minute per block. Why?

Explain this to me like I'm a 6 year old.

[etcdev]

I see the issue. It was initially set to one minute blocks. With the update to Scrypt-N, this value is overriden in the kimoto gravity well implementation. It looks like we missed that in the update. I apologize for this, there were a lot of code changes in that update. We could switch this back in the next release or just leave it where it is. For now, I will update the post to reflect.

[Q_R_V]

Thank you! Now everything is clear.

We're number 9 in the Mintpal voting list out of 400!

Great job. This coin cannot be killed by a 51%

If a crypto has fast difficulty re-targets, it's difficulty to do a 51% attack, cause in the forked chain the difficulty will increase rapidly and will soon reach the target block times, the block time of the main chain will be the same, making a 51% attack impossible.
            
If the main chain's difficulty was high cause of the attacker's majority hashing power, it'll drop to sustain a block interval equal to the attacker's fork chain.

Great work on the voting! We are number 8 on Mintpal and in the top 5 on SwissCex!

As we can see, ENCs are expensive. Buy orders price increasing.

ENC missing on swisscex voting page.

Some desperate looser nerds selling it cheap again.

Some lucky guys buying it cheap again
