Est-ce que le coin est asic resistan, et seulement mineable par CPU ?

Merci

Nope it is not ASIC resistant. We control the pool and thus we also control what mining software can be used. So far we only authorize our version of CPUMiner. But we will release a version of GPUMiner soon and Asic will be welcome after.
We are gradually opening the coin. This way we will give a chance to more miners to get some KYF.

Sorry i dont understand, you said that it is not ASIC resistant, but later in another sentence you mention that ASIC are not enabled yet oO ... is it ASIC resistant or not :O ?  


But also the problem is that even with a cpu, i couldnt get a block from my pool, they were all rejected with that same error

To clarify about Asic resistance.

KYF is using POW as the mining algorithm, it is SHA256 so on the paper it is not ASIC resistant. In the future all hardware will be able to mine.
However, instead of delivering the coin wild and authorize mining without any control, and also to avoid all the roadblocks and threads of launching a coin in 2019 as we did; we decided to control the mining pool.
Bitcoin has changed, and we can only mine with stratum. It makes it a lot more complicated to mine than it was when Bitcoin was launched.

By controlling the pool we also control what software can mine. As for now we only let our version of CPUMiner to mine. So today KYF is ASIC and GPU resistant but not by design, because of our limitation.

We have nothing against the big mining pool, and we understand the need for them to diversify their activities. We will need them in the future when the KYF will be more popular.
But having them mining now would penalize the amateur miners, and we want them to join our community.

So in order to have has many people mining KYF we are progressively introducing the way to mine it... but it is not a design limitation.
I hope that it is more clear now.

Do not hesitate to ask any more question, it is important for the understanding of what we are doing.
