Re: PSA: Coders making ad hoc random schemes are like kids playing with matches.
Joe_Bauers is asking a question about the mining algorithm for his altcoin, which currently has “Market Cap Rank: N/A” on CoinGecko—but it’s listed on Yobit with a 40% spread (!) and no depth (!!), if you want to get cheated.
His mining algorithm has a flaw he does not see. When time permits, I may post on his altcoin’s development thread with advice for miners who want to exploit it. The discussion is off-topic on this thread; I will delete further posts about it.

I have nothing to do with Yacoin if that's what you are referring, and it's listed multiple times on the Yacoin thread from the Yacoin lead that Yobit is a scam.
I was asking your opinion on a proof of concept (not production code) to determine the Nfactor from a previous block-hash of a block-chain which seems to have pissed in your Wheaties for some reason
The dreadful result of someone exploiting this obvious flaw you mention is that the Nfactor for the block is going to be 18 instead of, let's say 20. But thanks for your educated and truly useful response.
