Re: Vertcoin - First Scrypt N | First Stealth Address

The initial idea was to make pow alg adjustable. Why devs just can't fork from scrypt:2048 to scrypt:4096? It will cause the same effect to multipool and fpga/ASIC mininig. It will help to gain time for Lyra2 implementation.

Yes, there is a mandate of Vertcoin to fork to higher 'n' of the scrypt-n algo when the ASIC/FPGA is out. Well, the scrypt-n FPGA is finally here now. I doubt the devs know about this. They are busy with the Lyra2 implementation and they have not come into this forum nor the reddit (they have not posted anything) for a long time. Perhaps someone who has a 'direct line' to the devs can let them know of the new ASIC/FPGA development.

I talked to othe about it in #vertcoin on freenode yesterday.

That is good. Does Bushido go to #vertcoin freenode too?

Where is the scrypt-n asic? They are coming out.. but ive not seen a released one yet.

Or are you referring to the cloud mining contract that can do Scrypt-N or X11.. as in the FPGA.. and as we know FPGAs arent as efficient as GPUs at scrypt/scrypt-n. So its better to use a gpu mining contract than a fpga one with scrypt-n
