Looks very promising expressed support

The idea that ASIC resistance is important for crypto currencies has become widespread, however it is based on a fallacy. The premise is that ASICs are expensive and therefore make mining impractical for the average person. However, the production of ASICs is inevitable if a coin becomes popular enough, as is the case with Litecoin. Although Scrypt did a good job of stalling the creation of Litecoin ASICs, they are soon to be released. The properties that made Scrypt ASIC resistant are now the same properties that will make Scrypt ASICs exorbitantly expensive. Therefore in the end, trying to make a coin resistant to ASIC implementation only serves to make it more infeasible for the average person to mine it once ASICs are produced. This is why Blakecoin has been designed to be ASIC friendly. The simplistic nature of the Blake-256 algorithm makes it easier and cheaper to implement in silicon, so if or when Blake-256 ASICs are manufactured, they will be considerably less expensive and also considerably more power efficient than SHA-256 or Scrypt ASICs. GPU mining is excellent because it provides the flexibility to mine just about any coin, but ultimately it is a test bed to determine which coins are good enough to warrant production of dedicated hardware. One more advantage of Blakecoin in this regard is that due to it's support for merged mining, the efficiency of an ASIC would be compounded since it will be possible to mine multiple coins at once.

...im in!!!

I make a mistake to look it as herocoin

wow someone just dumped a shitload of coins on nxt-e completely crashing the price

The concern there is that it may be relatively easy to create professional mining hardware for. If GPUs move to the BLC solution they may not get to stay there very long. What we want is to bring in the GPU miners and keep them. Having 11 different types of hashing makes us much more secure in this way. We can argue that X11 gives long term safety.

There is also Blakecoin (BLC) - which is the fastest coin (SHA3 finalist, Blake-256 algorithm).

3.4GH/s on a AMD Radeon R9 290X
5.1GH/s on a AMD ATI Radeon 7990

For Now, Seems SHA3 is FPGA miner profit.
For GPUs, Only choice is X11, or Quark.
Quark have Quark, is old...
SO DRK is darkside, And HIRO is bright side?
Interesting.

And HiroS,
Do you really can build some functions new to this coin?
Thank to you effort.

672 milion

How much is the total supply of this coin?

donated some


yea.

we need to see a blockchain

There is an address in my signature over at the Hirocoin forum, if you used the installer you can click on the address in my sig to open Hirocoin with the address and label populated

you doin' a great job. how can i donate some hic?

I joined. I can change my crypto twitter account to a hirocoin related twitter account if you think it'll help.

I am speaking with as many people as possible and am getting more people involved to help me with this. The task we have is to get people aware of Hirocoin and the X11 hashing algorithm. The target is to set X11 to be the main choice for GPU miners when Scrypt is no longer viable. For now do not worry about price or 'going to the moon'. This is a long term project which will become more relevant over time.

The alternative out there is Scrypt-Jane or Adaptive-N, both of which are somewhat unfriendly to GPU miners. When promoting Hirocoin there are clear benefits, the immediate one being that we are multipool free for now, and further down the line, being the number one GPU miners choice. As I have said before the GPU miners going to Litecoin did amazing things for them, all other Scrypt coins are in Litecoin's shadow. We hope to be the one casting the shadow in X11.

What needs to happen is continued development and marketing to let people know about us both of which I am working on. Anyone else that want to join in come to the Hirocoin forum.

HIRO to the MOON => UP UP UP  

24H VOL BTC:

I'm going to buy that the price will go crazy in the near future

Do not forget - HOLD - not sell ... wait cryptsy.com  

Network hashrate = 1Gh/s = 227Mhs/LTC
It's easy to reach 3Gh/s for a new algo coin.
price under 2000satashi is so cheap.

about 630/day according to pool estimates

If I have 1.2mhs power how much coins do I get.. Since that is my haspower at darkcoin.
