so according to roadmap tomorrow new wallet with first increase countdown

...now, speaking of wallet

as the stable wallet is a direct descendant of x15coin and seems to be identical twin of aegiscoin, there's just 1 deviation I'm curious about.
I pretty much don't have a clue how to rate that, as I couldn't find a reference anywhere else (not even at cpan).
you'll find it somewhere right in the middle of T512_21


Code:
aegis/src/hamsi_helper.c

static const sph_u32 T512_21[128][16] = {
   ...
 SPH_C32(0x2f353af4), SPH_C32(0xb1337778), SPH_C32(0xc4b6a25d), // <- @22788 this should be: 0xb1152578
                                       ==========
   ...
}

now, maybe you can shed some light on that...

This makes absolutely no sense and has no use - just one - its a watermark so the dev can follow traces if his coins gets forked and renamed again

I just wanted to comment on this. This was most likely not intentional. This is consistent with doing a search and replace to change the RPC port number (13377). I don't have time to look into the original value, but whatever it was originally is probably the RPC port of the direct coin they forked from.

As for the ramifications, I would expect for it to not be the true X15 hashing algorithm (ie, hashed values to differ). However, this is not the case, otherwise miners would be complaining about rejected blocks. So, I'm really not sure what the implications are. I don't expect it to be a backdoor or exploit in anyway though.
