Is the algo being fixed so one miner does not take the majority of the blocks? Please tell me somthing is being done to resolve this issue.

I *almost* started to get excited about this coin, until I did a quick Google search and remembered this is the one that Christian @ ccminer is "closed source" GPU mining. He claims to be making 12 BTC per day, and understandably will not open his mining source to anyone.

I'm afraid that using such an obscure algo is going to be the death of this project. There's simply no way that one person mining the plurality of your coins is healthy.

Actually he almost has a point. Yes, the project is currently 10% complete. The price, doubtless, reflects that--$90 DRK is coming =)

Feeling a little worried? :-)

I've used up my quota of pointing out the speed boosts that have gone in recently to the CPU miner, both for pooled and solo, to ensure that the playing field is even, the EC2 analyses that suggest that no covert GPU miner is managing nearly as much of the hash rate as you claim, or cbuchner1's statements that they were only mining that much at 1/5th the difficulty.

Instead, I'm just going to note that every time more FUD like this gets thrown around, I feel a strong urge to continue contributing as much code and time as I can to help this berry float in the face of such annoyingly childish attempts to promote ones own bag at the expense of promoting technological advancement and a discussion of the actual merits of the coins involved.  Crypto is a grand social, economic, and technological experiment -- let's try to make it a constructive one instead of trying to tear down things we view as potential competitors.

(end rant)

There is no FUD attempt by me...this is the claim on this board and elsewhere...i own over 50btc worth of BBR. I think BBR is a great coin in every respect other than the GPU miner that claims to be taking many of the blocks....i would like an explanation as to what is being done to even the playing field.
