sooooooo many idots still think this is a cpu only!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

how do you know its not?

hvc is designed from its core to be permanently CPU-only. Heavycoin introduces the HEFTY1 cryptographic hash function in order to thwart GPU and ASIC miners by breaking out of the SIMD paradigm. The machine instructions that comprise HEFTY1 vary depending on input data. That is, the particular instructions that are executed will not be the same for each hash guess. Thus, it impossible for a GPU or ASIC to have an advantage over a CPU.



HEFTY1 must thwart GPU and ASIC miners while also providing secure cryptographic hashing. To this end, HEFTY1 was carefully constructed by making a minimalistic extension to SHA-256's Merkle–Damgård construction and experimentally validating it against FIPS 140-2 and the Dieharder statistical test suite


U can check the code on github (if u can read it) if u dont believe.

lily3241 u are the idiot here cuz you just blabblab nonsense Wink

this is strictly cpu only... it can by its structure not be gpu mined... its not possible

I am wonder we really need to bother and mine this coin?

nobody needs to, just like u dont need to mine bitcoin or litecoin. its just a very popular coin
doesnt mean you have to bother it mate
