Have you already read about the new YescriptR16 coin?
Some Russian guy made it up.
It's very upsetting

What different between Yenten and Bitzeny?

Beside the total amount, the block reward and the block time, Yenten is much more GPU/ASIC resistant cause of the R parameter set to 16 in the Yescript algorithm.
That's it

You are right, Yenten needs a more sexy slogan, 'honest coin' is true but boring. Suggestions are welcome of course!
Or maybe just plain: 'A cryptocurrency for everybody, minable by the CPU'
btw

add tech specification of yescrypt to your whitepaper pls

Here a better version of the specification

of cource, maybe, we can not see max coin 84,000,000 YTN because max SubsidyHalving is 64 times.
but max coin must have safety margin.
setting 800000000 is dangerous. any unknown bug may occur.

4 millions safety margin coins over 80 millions total minable coins seems too many.
Any other cryptocurrency has  such safety margin, actually I could not find any safety margin at all.

80.000.000 coins is already a safety margin because the controlled supply mechanism has this value as horizontal asymptote, so it can never be reached.

Code:
static const int64_t MAX_MONEY = 84000000 * COIN;
inline bool MoneyRange(int64_t nValue) { return (nValue >= 0 && nValue <= MAX_MONEY); }

The above code means to me that in the future, somehow, could be 4 millions Yenten that nobody was able to mine.

https://github.com/conan-equal-newone/yenten/blob/master/src/core.h#L18

84 000 000 is the max supply



https://github.com/conan-equal-newone/yenten/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp#L40

At block 800 000 (in less than 3 years) the block reward fall from 50 ytn to 25 ytn
800 000 blocks after block reward fall to 12.5 ytn etc....


I know how the controlled supply works and I read the code.
But if you use a spreadsheet you obtain this:

Abstruct
Algorithm:  YescryptR16 (GPU is slower than CPU)
Block time:  2.0 minutes
Max Block size:  2M
Block reward of block #1:  50 YTN
Total YTN:  84,000,000 YTN
SubsidyHalvingInterval:  800,000 blocks
Difficulty re-target:  every block (DarkGravityWave v3-1)
Premine:  none
P2P Port:  9981
RPC Port:  9982

Did anyone notice the total coin amount is wrong?

With 800,000 blocks halving interval and 2min block time the total YTN is 80,000,000 that will be mined in about 82 years.

How could Conan have made such a mistake?
