MNR, doesn't show up on the radar of a lot sites because it isn't using X11 or X13. It's not the new "cool" coin to mine/dump. It's not on any medium/large exchanges. Many coins would die under such pressure but MNR survives. This is good for us! As summer approaches in many areas we will do well due to low heat. People/companies are working on ASIC X11 and X13 algos. When this happens people will switch their GPUs to an algo who aren't ASIC. By the time Hefty shows up on the "radar" screen of ASIC devs we will already be doing well and if you have been holding....

remember hefty1 algo is still very ASIC and FPGA resistant...

According to the FPGA testing,HVC which use HEFTY1 algorithm is the real ASIC-resist coin!

Yes, where is this test. Would be very beneficial information if its true......

Edit: I found this on zhpool homepage. @zhpool, can you guys share the results of this project with the HVC communtiy?

1. Several experts believe HeavyCoin will be extremely hard for ASIC(harder than LiteCoin) or FPGA implementation(we have already completed FPGA implementation days ago, but... too slow... we kill that project), that means HVC will be GPU only for quit a long time, referring LiteCoin, HeavyCoin will have a great future.

Yes, sir, I would tell what I could.

Several experts?
Yes, these experts finished LTC ASIC lately, and have finished nearly all FPGA for all altcoins, including heavycoin.

We have finished HVC FPGA implementation?
yes, within 1 week since HeavyCoin launch.

too slow... we kill that project?
yes, too slow, good news for GPU miners, AMD 7970 run at 20M, FPGA run less than 200K. We will not continue FPGA optimization any more. HVC is the only one hurt the experts, badly, "keccak512 is genius" -- they said.
