The Nfactor has changed to 19, which is determined from the beginning of CACHeCoin. From my findings you will now have MORE impact on mining with only a CPU (i7700k@28h/s) versus a GPU (1060/6GB@38h/s,1070@48h/s,1080ti@65h/s).
Because memory is the limiting factor mining CACH we are now hoping for Nvidia and AMD to release 16-24GB versions of their upcoming top-of-the-line GPUs this year, as predicted beforehand. Until then I am happy to put my CPU to work again.

I saw someone question his hashpower being more than the total nethash. This coin has Proof-of-Stake that comes into play more or less throughout the month - this is not calculated into the total nethash. If difficulty is high for mining it becomes more likely that Proof-of-Stakes are taking place, hence not many Proof-of-Work blocks are generated at that specific time. Mining difficulty decreases if there are no Proof-of-Work blocks found for an amount of time, like 12 hours or so. That evens it out over time and you will see a "sudden" bump in total nethash. I have almost 700H/s mining at all times and I remember last year we had total nethashes above 30kH/s at times!

POOL POOL POOL POOL
I was thinking about setting up a pool to enable people to get more even payouts, but since I'm not very good with linux I failed. The stratum setup tried to mine the Proof-of-Stake instead of the Proof-of-Work which I couldn't find a way to solve. I am instead solo-mining to the wallet myself. If anybody has figured out how to setup a stratumpool for mining (that doesn't try to solve the Proof-of-Stake side of the coin!!) feel free to contact me and I will reconsider setting it up to be run 24/7 on my VPS in Europe. I find 2-8 blocks per day myself and I think we could all benefit from gathering up to some degree.

Hi, interesting post.

The 700 H/s you quote, is that for N=18 or N=19.
reason i ask, i simple.
If an i7700K gets 28hs, then you alone have the equivalent of 25 high end cpus...so cpu+mb+ram+psu, etc, must come to £500-600 per box min, * 25 = a heck of a lot....£10K +, and with the block reward and price, it means you would have to mine this coin forever just to pay of your rigs...
Coins like cachecoin, were set up originally so that anyone with a moderate PC could mine them, not just the elite who can spend 10K on gpu or cpu rigs.
I'm not having a go at you personally, just expressing my frustrations that nearly every old, good friendly coin now is expected to be mined by mega rigs....can't we find a way to push the big guys back to monero and etherium, and bring some of these old classic coins back to the smaller miners...
Sorry to be such a bore, but having checked and double checked the math, even with £10K or gpus, or servers, this coin will now only produce about £10 a day...thats a ROI of over 3 years...simply not worth it.
What i dont get is why the problems now, for 2 years i along with several very small miners have peacefully mined this every day, on 750Ti's and FX6300....now R7 1800x's and 1080ti cant touch it, all since these "changes" have been implemeted...so i dont see any other conclusion than it is to kill off the small guy....i guess a massive pump will be next...
