Re: [ANN][RIC] Riecoin, new constellations POW **CPU-ONLY** NEW 0.9.2 CLIENT
the longer numbers and block time are a great idea, not sure i would favor a riecoin 2 , I am still trying to research methods to mine riecoin
Also I am unconvinced that features of anon tx will hold water
Most that claim it are false now.
Obviously a good area for future research....
would be better to make your choice if you could check out that gpu miner on testnet of primecoin vs. see a demo
i do agree future technology will continue to increase what are the present limits of hardware ect...
+1
...and add RAM requirements (shinycoin) to make it a truly a CPU-only coin.
I like Ric²
But right know I don't know how to make it more RAM demanding... (that is, without radically changing the PoW). After seeing the alleged speed of primecoin's gpu miner, I think that a Ric gpu miner will eventually be unavoidable. Newer GPUs will keep getting more and faster RAM anyway.
I was thinking of making the nonce (offset in the block's header) be 512 bits long instead of 256. This would allow for more efficient mining putting us closer to the elusive world record.
Also 5 mins per block: the wallet would sync faster and each block would have more difficulty, getting us closer to that record....

if so then please write it like Ric²

Yea. I agree. Why make a new coin when a perfectly good coin already exist and needs improvement?
