Hi all. I've been mining Riecoin since January. It is good to see some interest in new exchanges and updating the wallet.

As much as I like Riecoin I have to say I'm a bit bored with finding 6-tuples at half the current record difficulty. If a major effort is going to be made to upgrade the wallet would you consider also changing the algorithm to make finding large clusters a lot easier? It is really a shame that 6-tuples were chosen. A 6-tuple cannot be part of a 7-tuple or any larger constellation. A 7-tuple on the other hand can be part of every constellation up to 15-tuple. lf we switched to looking for 7-tuple blocks then several blocks a day would also be 8-tuples. These would probably be in the range of the current 8-tuple record. Every couple weeks one of the 7-tuples would also be a 9-tuple. This would smash the current record. If the goal is to find large constellations then why stick with an algorithm that guarantees we never find one?

I think I would also add a second chain that looked for 10 or 11-tuples. This would be a GPU friendly chain that could bring in a lot of new interest in Riecoin.

There are several other things we could consider as well. If this was implemented properly we could probably break most of the records from 7 to 13 or 14. I could probably write this part of the code. I'm also willing to help out with the upgrade but I'm much less familiar with the wallet core. Let me know what you think.
