I've read in several places that Darkcoin uses "X11" as a proof-of-work algorithm.
I don't understand if merely mean 11 different hash functions combined, or whether it is it a recognized / defined technology, or something else?
I'd love to read more about it and learn. If anyone can reffer me by posting some links or an answer about this, i'd appreciate. thnx.


It's 11 different algorithms that the developer named X-11 hence the original name of this coin, Xcoin.  A good cpu computer can still hold it's own in the mining of this coin.  Check out the first page, he lists them Smiley
