Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin (DarkSend) | No Premine | Runs 30% cooler than scrypt
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
If so, can you please throw in some logic/arguments why this is better than suppose having a merkle-tree of same hash function x11?
I'm sorry if you are pulling hair due to my lack of basics understanding, but I do want to learn in order to be in a position to promote and write about this for the avg. joe.
