Re: [PRE-ANN] [XDB] Doubloon - Cryptonote Evolved

I've been mining for 5 years.... to get the efficiency of my cards on that NEW algo will cost me all my mining equipment!
I will never get the efficiency as I get on wildkeccak.
Change the logo... name... ticker.. but not the algo.
Thx

Just build new rig for XDB dude ! I also still support wildkeccak because my gtx 750 ti can do 750 kh only with 25 watt power.

Thanks! We've spent seven months refining this algorithm into something that is truly unique amongst a sea of clones. Wild Keccak is also unique in this regard, although, this is one of the few algorithms that has seen a considerable amount of peer review from within the academic community. We're not going to just throw it out because of a guesstimation in hash efficiency for older cards..

Saraga, the dev handling the implementation, just finished the final spec integration this week and is busy refining it. As soon as all the devs are comfortable with the state of Itsuku, we'll be releasing it for public testing. This might be in a day or two at the earliest, so keep an eye out on this thread for an announcement!

Guesstimation.. What?...

While I appreciate all your feedback, my point is that we haven't even begun Itsuku public testing and you're asking us not to use it.. It doesn't really make a lot of sense given all the work we've put into it. Try the algorithm and see what your hashrate is before passing judgement on it. Technology will always move forward, the solution is to adapt to it. We want as many different cards testing the algo so we can compile all the results. That said, this project will go in a different direction than BBR once the network is online so you'll always have the option of mining WK.
