Only in the crazy world of crypto could such a crap network be worth $2 billion USD.
all the coins i´ve tested CriptoNight v6 algorithm is the best so far... it´s CPU friendly, almost 1:1 Ratio GPU:CPU balanced, and very power efficient at 1OO% CPU / GPU load.
Argon2d the 2nd best, taking those variables in consideration, #1 in complexity/security... CPU Only, so far, and power hungry.
NeoScrypt "Scrypt v2" is Power Hungry.
ETHash, has Fallen, with E3 ETH ASIC Miners faster than 4x Watercooled & Overclocked Vega64 at $800usd.
but that same problem could make ETClassic a comeback, could bring ETClassic back from the ashes.
Equihash probably the 3rd best algorithm, but Not as power efficient at 1OO% GPU load, and Not CPU friendly. CPU vs GPU ratio is very unbalanced like all other coin algorithms.
will have to test X13 power efficiency vs. Equihash.
having an algorithm that is perfectly balanced, and power efficient gives equal opportunity to CPU miners and GPU miners, will make the coin stronger against centralization, more Decentralized.
"The Original idea of Bitcoin / Satoshi Nakamoto"
Ethereum does Not have instant Transaction Notification, like BTC, BCH, BTG, XMR, BCN, and others...
that´s a Big Problem in a Fast World, with Big Waiting lines.
and because its a GPU only coin, "centralized" that made GPU price increase in the last years...
an used GPU today is the same price as New a year ago, and almost twice when launched.
GPU Only coins, & ASIC Only Coins help Centralization, "Bad for Decentralizacion." goes against The Original Idea of Bitcoin...
CPU Only coins are a bit different, because everybody has a CPU, but still can become centralized because the TOP500 List #1 Today has 20Million-cores.
https://www.top500.org/statistics/efficiency-power-cores/a power efficient hybrid CPU&GPU balanced algorithm is very important.
Ripple XRP requieres $20usd. You can never recover, to have an address.
that´s crazy.
Dogecoin from my point of view, is better than Litecoin, programmers are better.
but in the end its the same Scrypt algorithm, with the same ASIC miners, and Now can be Bridged to Ethereum Token.
"ASIC Miners will have less motivation to spend $$ in electricity, in the future."
SHA256 coins are doomed, and coins that follow the BitcoinCore code roadmap changes also.
lets talk about Bitcoin Flaws/involution since 0.10
original Satoshi Nakamoto code, was designed to have 0 Fee IF Wallet was in -server and -mining,
to motivate the use of Node Wallets, and avoid a 51% attack.
does Not matter if CPU mining was obsolete with ASIC miners, it was used also for other reasons, very important reasons...
CPU Wallet Mining was Removed from the Bitcoin Code since 0.10
Send with 0-Fee Was REMOVED! when CPU Wallet mining was removed,
Motivation to have Node Wallets decreased & Motivation for 51% attack increased.
to me Bitcoin.Core is evolving in a wrong way since 0.10
there is too much changes in the code, and some changes, meh,
thats why BitcoinCash was born, BitcoinGold, BitcoinDiamond, BitCore, etc...
BitcoinCash decided to increase Block size, to lower waiting lines, and lower transfer fee, Before BitcoinCore became SegWit, that´s very important.
BitcoinGold decided to change the Algorithm, for an ASIC Resistant algorithm with minimum changes to the Blockchain, also increase Block Size, x2, x4, Not x8 like BitcoinCash.
"Most coins with very different / incompatible algorithm must start the Blockchain from 0."
BitcoinDiamond BCD has incresed Coins from 21Million to 210Million, 10x similar to Bytecoin BCN vs. MoneroXMR, but also changed the SHA256 algorithm to X13.
and also increased BlockSize to 8MB "same as BitcoinCash"
http://www.btcd.io/#/there is a dilema in the Bitcoin code, programmers since 0.10 claim to keep the original idea of Satoshi Nakamoto, but don´t understand what is the original idea. LOL. Jajajajaja
Bitcoin has lost the way, lost in translation.
i like to use the Ford Model-T analogy... Bitcoin is the Ford Model-T of this era, but Nobody uses Ford Model-T anymore. LOL. Jajajajaja
BitcoinDiamond could be the true Bytecoin competitor in the Future.
But BitcoinCash will continue in the TOP10 because is Not SEGWIT.
personally im against Blockchain size optimizations, BitCore the worse, some call it clever..
but i see those optimizations like .mp3 vs. FLAC vs. WAV
Mp3 at 128kbps is too much "optimized".
Einstein say´d: "make something as simple as possible, but Not more."
https://i.pinimg.com/736x/db/01/8b/db018be655e59c41c1c6a91ff07f785d--albert-einstein-quotes-error.jpgto me .mp3 is too simple,
BitCore, segwit, to me are .mp3 versions of the Blockchain.wav LOL. Jajajajaja
that´s unacceptable to me, from a security point of view, for a Master in a Record Company / Producer point of view, .mp3 at 128kbps is Not a Master.
thats another problem of Ethereum Network based coins, the block time was modified, instead of increasing block size to solve the problems everybody knows,
block time was decreased, increasing the Blockchain size to levels that will be imposible for a Non RAID to Download,
having an Ethereum Node Wallet in the Future will be almost impossible without bootstrapping, making a 51% attack almost inevitable.
also Ethereum Network RoadMap has included an Update called Metropolis that will change the PoW algorithm to PoS algorithm,
thats why Bitmain decided to sell the E3 ASIC Miner secret weapon, before it becomes obsolete.
to me Ethereum is dead, but has nice things like Alan Turing Machine like capabilities, but that´s the only thing i like, LOL. Jajajaja
