VTC and CACH share the same idea anti-asic , both are scrypt-jane and have great devs. I think i will keep CACH.

VTC is not scrypt-jane
Algorithm: Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor (Not scrypt-jane)
Yes but still a type of scrypt-jane. CACHE is same ideas too, but its dev doesn't call it scrypt-adaptive-nfactor.


Hi,

While you're technically correct in your definition, by that same logic you can call every single coin on the market scrypt-jane.

Here is some nice reading I've bookmarked:

https://github.com/floodyberry/scrypt-jane
www.tarsnap.com/scrypt/scrypt.pdf
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-256

The variable 'n' factor is actually called in the scrypt function, not the sha/blake/skein/keccak pudding that you would see in scrypt jane. To make this short, this coin is scrypt, with a variable n factor.
