scrypt-htc is reminscent of scrypt-pgc (Pangu) and scrypt-new (Kingcoin) - just another scrypt-jane that is disguised as a CPU-mining algo while the creators mine on their GPUs
That's so scam-ish. Sad some people do that just to make a couple of dishonest $$$.....Only new CPU mine coin that has potential is Blake, using Blake-256...
