Are you able to change the algo yourself (or someone else without one of the earlier dev's permission?)
Also, do you also have access to the source? I've reached out to a mining pool owner, and he needs our source to link up 1CR to mining, although we probably would want to wait until we've switched algos.
Furthermore, dnaleor, I want to extend a HUGE thank you to all the back-end work that you're doing. I can imagine that that work sometimes goes unappreciated, but I'm very thankful and I'm sure that everyone else is as well. I recognize the work you're doing (a lot of the technical stuff goes over my head, but I'm reading books to learn!) and it's really helping to add strong and steady value to the 1CR project. Keep it up, you're making us all extremely proud and amazed.
