Keccak: what do you think about that new GroestlCoin? It seems to have simmilar features like HVC, especially that it's power effective. Can you maybe summarize how HVC is better than Groestl?
Actually, the 'power-effectiveness' is a side effect of mining not utilizing card resources to 100%. For Heavycoin this ineffectiveness is 'enforced' by thread divergence in the algorithm (though the divergence is not where devs intended it to be), while in Groestl it is just inoptimal code.

That sounds like a positive for HVC. Maintaining power efficiency will help set it apart from other coins.
