My god people. Darkcoin is
closed-source: Does anyone actually know
exactly what the X11 mining algorithm is? All I've found are vague statments like this one from the white paper:
"Darkcoin uses a new chained hashing algorithm approach, with many new scientific hashing algorithms for the proofofwork. X11 consists of blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd, and echo." "DarkGravityWave uses multiple exponential moving averages and a simple moving average to smoothly adjust the difficulty."It's not completely closed source, but darksend is currently closed source... until Sunday, I believe (or whenever testing is done).
I guess you haven't kept track of other alt coins. Notice any others using DarkGravityWave or X11?
They all got it from DarkCoin... they are open sourced. I can't believe you haven't heard of X11 until now.
Do a search on X11 and DGW in the general ann thread... tons of coins pop up.
