Re: [ANN][DRK] Darkcoin | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW and Darksend | Instant TX
As I said earlier, we should maybe think of changing to a new algo.. Evan said that he would change algo when asics were possible, FPGA's are hurting this coin, this dumping is just insane.
We would be better with scrypt or sha256, at least their asics are in the market, but a new cpu/gpu algo would be better...
I must have missed that. Do you have a link to Evan saying that?We would be better with scrypt or sha256, at least their asics are in the market, but a new cpu/gpu algo would be better...
Another "put words in their mouth then claim failure when that which was never promised doesn't happen troll?"
We can't really do anything to stop miners from moving to GPUs in the eventual. It doesn't look like anyone has succeeded in making a miner that works well yet though. GPUs are in the natural life cycle of a crypto though and I'd like DarkCoin to follow the same path as Bitcoin did.
That proven scammer said a lot of things. In June he is still claiming ASIC Resistence which is a flat out lie as proven from your quote from February.
A new algo is not 'resistant' just because it's a new algo... Any algo that is static is in fact not ASIC resistant at all, it invites ASICs, actually. It's just different and an ASIC hasn't been made yet. That doesn't make it resistant to shit. That's why I never liked calling X11 "ASIC resistant." It's not. At all. It actually invites ASICs by it's very nature of being just another static algo no different from any other in the perspective of a giant parallel calculator... Scrypt was never ASIC resistant, either. It was just different and guess what, there's ASICs for it now... Any static algo invites ASICs, it doesn't resist them. It only means that current ASICs can't do it. This is not resistance, it's merely different.
So easily they fall for the hype and marketing...
