here is what was said about X11 quoted for ya all..
X11 is Far Worse
X11 suffers from the problems stemming from increased propagation latency and slow verification, and adds even worse susceptibility to ASIC advantage. It is a mere mishmash of 11 separate algorithms that are now GPU mineable (according to Darkcoin’s homepage). Anything GPU mineable can be implemented in custom hardware. To make matters worse, ASIC’s could even have a major speedup advantage over GPU’s. adam3mus said, “it does seem likely that eg if the unused space due to heat can be filled with the other hashes, then it can all be pipelined together and no slowdown. the only cost is replicating different hash functions which doesnt seem particularly hard”
So a switch to X11 only delays the inevitable. Switching the hash to X11 would only spite the current manufacturers while ultimately failing in the goal of preventing ASIC’s later. It gets even worse. If the cost of entry for a particular PoW is very high by design, that increases the chance of fewer competing manufacturers entering a market. This is the worst possible outcome for any Bitcoin-like network that relies upon large quantities of greedy miners to outdo each other to maintain network security.
rational thinking is what i see going on.. fanboysism is the definition of stupidity
things ARE the way they are so i want real information and not sensational headline titles as seen on the DarkCoin topic title i already made fun of lol
the title of the ANN page boasts a bunch of bs as far as i am concerned.
And guys let's not forget about Botnets like Darkcoin is trying hard to do.. they are avoiding addressing that issue or acknowledging it in anyway.
even after i went and mentioned it and got flamed.. it is basically a coin copied from Quark etc and those suffer from severe massive botnet operations that continue to grow.
people go and rent massive server farms to mine them but idiots ignore this going on with Dark coin and push the it's asics resistant company tag line..
I also mentioned that it's not just it's being pushed as a "common man" cpu miner coin but it's a GPU mined coin with STILL no gpu miners even mentioned on page 1 of the ANN topic.
deceptive bs and games to say the least combined with other pages like the official CPU-Only Coin list here at bitcointalk pushing it as coin #3 in the cpu mined coins list.
