And how do they get the miners to deploy a new mining software version every 10 days?
I sense a major nightmare in that idea.

I hear what you are saying, but what is the difference between that and updating to a new version?

It would be slower for farms to update which would give the little guy a little bit of extra profit every 10 days.

I see your point though, it could turn into a nightmare very quickly.

every 10 days is faster then needed.

1 time a month should work.

prewrite 24 algos

release the new software on the last day of the month

start the new algo on the first of the month.

a gpu could do the switch easy

but it would delay a fpga for a bit of time before it can switch

an asic would be trashed.

I think 1 time a month would hurt fpgas enough that they may not bother with the coin.

I think that it changes automatically every 10 days, so there is never a need to code a algo.

I do agree every 10 days is a bit quick, but how long does it take for a fpga programmer to up date their bitstreams??
