Any reason why we're still sticking on to scrypt? It's kinda "expensive". And just scanning other pages, I'm seeing a shit load of support from miners looking for x11 coins. And because its cheaper for the rig owners as well, the rental prices too reflect it. I'm sure once we have miners back in the coin, the buzz will be generated and volume will pick organically when larger exchanges follow suit. A network hash rate of 140 MH is a crying shame for a coin with such an active dev team. There quite a lack of x11 coins and I think we could fill that void if we adopt early. Too many shitcoins on scrypt is drowning this gem.

Because a good coin doesn't switch to whatever is popular at the moment, just to switch to the next-new thing 2 months later? A good coin has reasons to use it no matter it's algorithm. I don't think you guys understand the dangers of switching algorithms just like that. You scare people away with it because it is inconvenient having to update wallets, wait for services to update, get unwanted and incorrect forks making you work for nothing...
Besides that you don't even know the dangers of the new algorithm. You could've seen a perfect example with KGW, everybody saw it as almost a requirement for a coin to include KGW. And a few weeks later in comes the big bug. You don't know how this new algorithm works and what it's flaws are, all you hear is people creating a shameless hype and following the herd.

Yes you probably will lose all the scrypt miners. But to compensate for that, a torrent of x11 miners will take their place. Wallet updates, pool updates are all a hastle I know, but in the larger picture, it is but a blip. I understand very clearly what it looks like, and its not about following the herd. When you have come to a a situation where CPR is required, you don't ask where that mouth's been to. I have been with dopecoin from the start and I know the value of an active dev and team for a coin.

But we need to be honest. This coin needs a defib back to the real world and fast. These are the facts.... 2 months after launch, we are at a net hash rate of 140 MH and a market cap of 75 BTC and a 24h average of less than 2BTC. To put that into perspective, its lesser than PandaCoin, MurrayCoin, EarthCoin, FlappyCoin, or even Catcoin. That's how "bad" we are. Holding on the moral high ground of "sticking to our guns" is what those guys from 300 said before they all died!

If the machine is getting slow and a lag for every click is beginning to crop up, you wait till it reaches a tipping point after which you decide a reboot is necessary. I agree the downtime is inconvenient, but you close everything and save whatever is necessary, and go ahead and do it when its necessary... you do that because you are thinking ahead and know that once its rebooted, you will be able to get back on track.

He has a point there. I'm pretty sure that the 100 or so miners we have and the 3-4 active pools will not mind the inconvenience. Do a ninja relaunch if forking is the worry here. I still can't believe people are more interested in Flappy 'fucking' coin than this one!!
