Keep it coming guys - The whole team is reading every single post very interested!
We waited for the time when the discussion will take place so please dont let it die... discuss the x11 pro's and con's.

A little fuel:
We looked up the code and were able to see that the current 'power savings' are just temporary as the algo itself is very bad in shape so its not properly configured which leads to less work for the card. So if its 'optimized' ( which is something bad in this case :-) ) in the future that energy saving 'feature' will fall apart but the hashrate will rise because of optimiziation.
Furthermore all algos used in x11 are optimized for ASICs :-)

That a nice thing ! Future are very good with this coin

Interesting about the power efficiency going down once the algo is fully optimized. Is there really 50% room to grow there? If so, this kind of sways me a bit into looking at a purely science/math benefiting algo. I don't think it will be nearly as popular as x11 though. Balance the potential popularity and thus price increase from x11 and the unpopular but science/math helpful algo. Which helps science/math more?
