Like i said: i don't really know what this altcoin is all about, to tell you the truth, i hold very little alt's (some ETH, LTC, XMR and DOGE, but that's about it).

I've had a look on google images to search for an image of their wallet, and at first glance it looks like LAPO is just a clone of a clone of BTC... At least, the QT wallet is cloned from bitcoinQT, so i'd doubt if the blockchain algo was significantly changed between LAPO and the X11 coin they cloned.

Since they seem to try to run some kind of ICO, i can only guess they cloned an existing coin, added a fat premine and are now trying to become rich by selling their premine (this is my gut feeling, like i said: i haven't done the effort of really analysing the coin, i'm just going on some google images and the text on their website/ann thread/github page).

If they just cloned an existing coin that used the X11 algo, anybody with a working knowledge of mining should have been able to get a GPU miner working, or even better: an ASIC.
It takes just one or two ETH miners that switched to LAPO because they lost money mining ETH in order to completely blow LAPO's difficulty out of proportion. If you have 4 or 5 X11 ASIC's on your network, it becomes allmost impossible to find a valid block with your wallet's cpu miner.

An antminer D3: 17 GH/s (source: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/bitmain/antminer-d3/)
A "regular" cpu: 200 Kh/s (source: https://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/x11-cpu-miner/)

5 cpu miners: 1 Mh/s
5000 cpu miners: 1Gh/s
85.000 cpu miners: 17 Gh/s

So, basically, disregarding the difficulty, the time between blocks, the LAPO price or the block reward, if LAPO's network consisted of 2 miners: you (running a cpu miner) and an other guy (running a D3), statistically, only 1 in 85.000 blocks would be found by you, and 84999 in 85000 blocks would be found by the ASIC miner.
Now imagine a network with yourself and 5 D3's Wink

its like trying to cut down a tree with an exacto knife lol and everyone else has heavy machinery
