How's the privacy in this coin?

Same as Bitcoin?

Not sure. I'd love to know the details of the algorithm, the level of privacy, what the actual bottleneck is with the mining (seems like its limited threads or l2 memory), and i'd like someone with more technical knowledge to do an in-depth assessment of all the github files. I guess when a bigger invest comes along they'll have the resources to answer all those questions.

So far though the mining increases have been smooth and it hasn't quadrupled or anything like that, which maybe means the algorithm is difficult to "crack". In any case, that means most of us early miners are small guys and as long as that is true I'll keep mining.

Can anyone tell me how much electricity they are using to mine this?

It appears that processor cache will help you (as well as processor speed of course) but it appears there is arbitrary limiting after 3 threads.

So to optimize you would get the fastest/most energy efficient processor for 3-4 threads. This means going over quadcore and likely going over 8mb cache would give diminishing returns.

Yes, I've noticed this arbitrary limiting too after mining on three devices of varying power. If I mine cryptonight (for example) on my slow laptop processor I will get 60 h/s vs. 600 h/s on my Ryzen 7, or about a 10X increase. When I mine Yenten I get 250 h/s on the slow processor but only 1200 h/s on the Ryzen, only a 5X increase. So it does seem to be limited on purpose to keep the coin mineable on average computers.

recently i have plan to update my ivybridge, usually get 600 h/s, should i invest new rig or ryzen 7?

if you focus to mining by cpu ryzen is work [but i dont know about power use for ryzen7]

im use intel gen6 skylake i7-6700@3.5G get 850 h/s

with my ivy, only difference 250 h/s
i am curious, how much speed from ryzen 7?

It gets about 600 h/s stock, so there's no reason for you to upgrade to a Ryzen 7.
