Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW, Darksend and InstantX
Small tiny last question please, am wondering roughly how many man hours or months of work it has taken to get this far?
Well I started almost a year ago, litecoin took me about a month or so, the x11 hash functions about 6 months (maybe 2 weeks per module, some a bit less, some a bit more), and then a few months to do integration, handling multiple cores etc. I am still finishing off protocol to handle comms between SPI master (ie rPI) and a chain of chips.
A year really?! Thats quite a bit of work involved in a number of specialist areas,
Its useful to know, thanks for grounding me with solid facts to work with !
One of our ex Dev's Vertoe was very accurate about it taking 1 year to develop then, how did he know

A company has appeared in the last few months which is promising deliverance from the CPU-only paradigm. Cleverhash promises three models of miner by the end of the year. However, in the legalese of its documentation, its making no firm commitments. The three models range in price from $900 to $7500. For their business model to work, they reportedly have to sell 4,000 units before they produce one.
Edit: If this is you, can I have 5 small ones please and can I have them 1 week before anyone else ?
