Yeah, it kinda seems like the gimmick SC 2.0 was planning on was the 'cpu-only, anyone can mine!' - but clearly it was designed yet again to be a bait-and-switch. It probably explains his dislike of LTC.

I'm surprised that sc2 is still alive after all this drama. Didn't you say that you're going to kill it off or something?
This hybrid approach isn't too bad, except for bitcoin.

RS has always mentioned that he wants to have GPU and CPU on the same level, not to ban GPUs completly, it looks like that was reached... sure it also helped promoting SC. It's funny how everybody else jumped on the CPU-train after RS published the idea and published some altchains, which are not far from death now, except maybe LTC  |

So don't assume that ArtForz stole his idea. |

u mad bro?
BTW, wasn't you supposed to kill solidcoin before the 17th? It's the 23rd already and it's still alive. Or were you just doing a bait and switch move, dickhead?

To add to this, scrypt was being discussed as a CPU-friendly hashing algorithm in mid September at: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/931/are-there-algorithms-that-could-have-been-chosen-for-mining-that-balance-cpu-gpu |

Are there any alternates beyond namecoin that don't end up being scams?
