Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux]
So what is this Grosel stuff people are talking about? I'm still here mining DOGE and not up on the latest with what to be mining. What are we mining now? Great work on the CudaMiner btw 
that's Gröstl.

it's also a finalist of the NIST SHA-3 hash function competition. Gröstl is an Austrian dish, but because the hash function has Danish co authors, they replaced the ö with an ø like in Smørrebrød
the hash function is important because it is part of Quark and X11 - and it appears that in particular X11 will play a major role in the future (when ASICs have ruined scrypt for GPU miners)

So how is Gröstl different from Scrypt -N since that's ASICS resistant as well? This might all be old news so any way you could maybe just point me to a previous post that explains all this so I don't keep asking dumb questions? I also have no idea what Quark and X11 is so I will have to read up on that as well. I feel so behind lol. Also I am running Windows, is this stuff linux only or windows as well?
