Oblox, is not fudding he was just giving his honest opinion. Fudding in this forums means making stuff up or trying to intentionally manipulate people.

I mostly agree, but...

The SpreadX11 came from a mistake in playing with the blocktemplate which is currently the sole selling point of this coin.

... this is as "made up" as it gets.

It will be bias as it comes from Flare, one of the members of the DRK team, but:

"What i got from the Spreadcoin thread is that the developer originally (by accident) changed the layout of the blocks, by using 64bit timestamps, which caused all X11 miners not to work anymore. It must have been this moment when he realized that this flaw could be a potential unique selling point of the coin: Not to be mineable in pools. So instead of fixing the coin, he decided to alter the block layout again, so that the address of the miner is part of the block, which means miners can cheat the pools, as the block is getting paid to the miner and not to the pool."

There are very few people that understand the technical workings of how things work in crypto, but Flare is one (and also one I respect). Mr Spread can obviously refute this if he so desires.
