Although there are no immediate technical issues with the coin or algorithm, there has been quite a bit of discussion regarding changing EMC2's mining process to better suit our community.

The voting will last 5 days and the highest voted algorithm be chosen and implemented as soon as possible. An official announcement will be made on our forum here:

Please contact me directly if you would like more options added to the poll.

Thank you.

I can't vote.

I wanna vote for X11.

I'm not saying POS because EMC2 has relatively small mining community compared to Bitcoin and Litecoin and transactions should be processed. And I found it unsafe to give it to scrypt-ASICS. There is so much hash power. If a big miner switches, they would have more than %51 of our relatively low hash power network and we became vulnerable to network attacks.

Many people here says scrypt-ASICs is inevitable and more efficient, yes they are more efficient than GPU/CPU mining. Hey! what happened to "spread the hash" idea? As scrypt-ASIC manufacturers were getting pre-orders, Litecoin's hash power became x2 and x3 fold gradually. They seem to be selling to end-customers like you and me but I think they sold the technology (or themselves using it) to big ones long ago. It doesn't look like GPU and CPU sales and evenly distributed among miners. I think it's against the core idea of Bitcoin and all crypto curriences because there are several big and credible ASIC manufacturers and not everyone can buy from them (think around the globe). Their are availability can not compete with GPU and CPUs.

I started as a miner (GPU). Now I can't mine because of difficulties and recent prices. Even it can't pay my electricity with these prices. Script-ASICs are here (look at Litecoin hash power - 320GH/s now). I hope EMC2 will survive and stand in the long run because only a handful altcoin will survive with the Bitcoin.

I've created the exact same poll on our FB group for those who cannot vote here on bitcointalk.org - Both polls will be averaged and the winner will be announced next weekend.

Vote and comment on our FB poll to receive 100 emc2!

POS is always best option.

+1

I find it quite interesting that "those who cant vote here" have such a discrepency in what they want as opposed to those who can vote here...
