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.

Mr. Spread said he changed the layout to 64 bit to fix the year 2106 problem.
He obviously didn't know external miners didn't work until after.

Also there is a quote somewhere of the very early OP and he says "I'm trying to do something but I don't know if it will work" or something. Clearly it was not an accident.

Hi all!

I'm pretty new to this world of cryptocurrencies and I want to launch my own coin.

Here are its parameters:
Algorithm: X11
Block generation: 10 minutes
Difficulty retargets: every block
Initial reward: 66.66666666 coins per block
Block reward is smoothly halved every 4 years
Total supply: 20 mln coins

I may change these parameters in the future. In particular, I want to implement my own mining algorithm which I think will be great but I'm not yet sure if it is possible to do what I want.

Launch time: in one hour (9:00 UTC).
