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.
