hope dev team prepared a press release about the winner of the first epoch)
That would be our marketing team. The press release is ready, it just needs to be sent out. We leave our dev team to the dev stuff, which as you can tell...they are rather busy. |

The fork isn't planned yet. They are exploring the possibility. Part of this exploration is determine how best to preserve the blockchain and make sure people keep the coins they have mined so far. (this is what derbrause has posted above.) |

Guys just copy paste the N scrypt from vertcoin even their schedule. They are 100% focus on avoiding asics, yes is less ecological and requires some tweaking but it should be a once in a lifetime fork. Then we can focus our minds and resources into science.
Vertcoin is just an adapted scrypt algo, really not 'ASIC resistant', the multiple hash of X11 or Quark algo would take much more effort to build an ASIC against ... |

Hello, the AMA will be on http://www.reddit.com/r/science, /r/IAMA is more for famous or successful people, not the best choice for now. Maybe in the future it will. We've talked with the mods about it, so it will 90% happen tomorrow at the scheduled hour, 10% being reserved for extraordinary events. If you want more information I can ask the marketing team to offer more details. |

Chaining NIST approved algos is in no way asic resistance, theres not a single one which is memory hard - its just cheap to put that on a chip... If you want to know the reason why x11 mining takes less power, its simple - the miner is totally unoptimized. There is also a big disadvantage with that, cpu mining is nearly as fast as gpu mining...that means, its ideal for beeing mined on botnets - thats something you really dont want. |

Guys... BIG NEWSOur winner Dr Moss, Will be doing a 2 hour AMA on reddit tomorrow between 6-8pm EST. I urge all of you to show up http://www.reddit.com/r/science and show your support. Not only for our coin but for the great work Dr Moss is doing as well. I know he will need to drum up some more donations, he's only around 75% of the way there.. Lets show our support for him and fund the rest in EMC2, now that would be AWESOME! See you guys there!

I dont really find that it matters if it is indeed optimized or not. If it was optimized it would mean generally speaking a same perentage increase of hash for every miner, meaning they still get the same proportional reward. Can you explain what you mean by cpu being as fast as gpu? |

Hey guys... Now that the payment to our first winner will be made in a few short hours I feel its time to start asking our wonderful community to start submitting nominees for this the 2nd epoch we are on now. Here is my first nominee http://www.planetary.org/I'm looking forward to what you guys can come up with and remember with every mined block we are funding science. How cool is that? |

Then fork it and change it to X12, X13... lots of room to add complexity since it's using so little resources now. See how that multi-million dollars investment that the ASIC company made in X11 ASIC development will do next time... |

In regards to what? I'm not on the dev team, but I'm pretty sure they're working on getting press releases out on the first winner as well as internally discussing and testing out the idea of switching the ECM2 algo to x11. Besides that I'm sure our own forum is being worked on little by little as well.
besides those things, I think we just keep doing what we have been doing. Lets go through with epoch 2 and pick another winner and go through that donation phase. Hopefully after that point, more interest will be generated driving the price up some.
