yes these two are promising. cryptonote is having an overly complicated CPU implementation
and is *very* memory hard with lots of random access. This limits your GPU advantage to maybe
factor 3-4 over CPUs.

wild keccak is interesting also, and it also has a memory hard component with a random scratchpad that grows with time. The advantage over CPUs is more significant, especially because that scratchpad is currently quite small (~5MB)

The weak point of these crypto currencies is a lack of simple to use windows installers with GUI wallets. This technology is for geeks only at this point.


...no worry... we could deal this...maybe  Grin Wink
do many coins use wild keccak?

cryptonote... factor 3-4 over which cpu?
if we could reach 4-500h/s with a single 750ti it would be far more interessting than mining it with powerwasting R9 290x.

don't expect too much from the 750ti. Looking at the way the R9 290x works it uses around 3Gb of vram, so assuming it gets implemented in a similar way (which we will never know  Grin) you won't get these sort of performance with the 750ti. This will certainly be also a problem for the 880.
But the titan Z should do very well  Grin
