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 :-)
So its possible that X11 is a "Trojan Torse"?, trying to trick us with energy saving and ASIC resistant talk, when in reality its just a poor optimized algo?
And in the near future after a widespread adoption its true colours will show up? Like a super duper X11 ASIC miner?
Is the ASIC industry trying to manipulate us?
Woah woah woah ... take off your foilhat
.. i only said that this 'optimization' is more or less a lucky circumstance by poor algo design :-).. nothing more
