This coin started with deception.

I said it was a "bad start".

Bad end now.

Your comment seems little bit out of context !

What do you mean ? Could you please elaborate.

The main problem is that some miners prefer X11 and others ScryptN.

It's an important decision for the coin and it's not just saying:
Let's change it, you know Wink

We're very interested in all your comments related with X11 & other algos.
It's interesting to see all the possibilities that you want to implement to the coin and we're working on It!

Today is a very important day in our country, Sant Jordi. Hope someday we will buy roses & books with catalonia coins, who knows.

In the end I am happy with any asic reaistant coin, but the algo imho doesn't matter as long as 1. Has no known colisions attacks 2. Is asic resistant .

I completely agree that for now these should be the among the main criterias for selecting an encryption algorithm for a decentralized trustless transaction network. Hopefully the mix-algos, like X11, will remain ASIC and bug free for some time! In addition, if some of the secondary properties(lower temperatures,lower power consumption,longer GPU lifetime etc) are attractive for much broader circle of miners/gamers, then its a BIG plus.

Some informations on X11 in case someone is too lazy to google Cheesy

:

-Description: http://wiki.darkcoin.eu/wiki/X11
-Some Pros and Cons : http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/pros-cons-x11-algorithm/2014/04/10
-Some interesting and heated flamewar around X11 (16 pages of hate and drama! PopCorn recomended) : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=556277.0;all

I am just trying to ignite a discussion, nothing more

e.g. One interesting property of the X11 algorithm is, that, so far the ratio between the hashing speed of the best CPU and best GPU is close to 3. This adds some interesting dynamics (good and bad i suppose) to the future transactions network, don't you think ?

To the devs: If you guys are interested in making the CATC-algorithm more "environmentally friendly Cheesy

" and dislike the X11 for any reason, there are some interesting mix algorithms out there with similar attributes to X11!

Thanks for your comments, guys!
Yes, you can vote 5 free times every hour for CATc or also paying some BTC on the directions that are located on http://mintpal.com/voting

But please remember to spread the hash!

Yes Mikellev, here you have the config and poolerino is there

Code:

rpcuser = (what you want)
rpcpassword= (what you want)
deamon=1
server = 1
listen = 1
addnode = 83.63.222.42
addnode = 188.226.221.141
addnode=catc.poolerino.com
addnode= 24.52.250.46:9679
addnode =98.126.98.138:9679
addnode=77.173.110.4:9679
addnode=77.173.110.4:9679
addnode=107.170.28.152:9679
addnode=46.9.154.26:9679
port = 9679
rpcport = (what you want)

Guys, pls make sure you have catc.poolerino.com as a node in your config.
Swisscex and explorerino (the blockexplorer) is following us.

Only one other alive pool is on the same chain like we are.

Great news dev! How many people will assist to the conference? And is the conference filled with Catalonian citizens?

X11 is the way to go, happy to see you guys are taking miner's requests.

X11 is the algorithm CataloniaCoin needs

Congratulations on the progress with getting CATC, I wish the best for this currency (soc catalá).
I spend enough time to purchase altcoins me and I just wanted to give you a tip, put it in MINTPAL 5 votes per hour if you're registered or if necessary even paying ago. It is the best way to show it to the world.
Luck!

Yes verdun2003 and bacoinin, we're discussing with some other Google devs from the GDG where to do it! It's going to be announced here and on our blog Cheesy

We don't know the exact amount of people but it's amazing to spread the word of cryptos and CataloniaCoin to the citizens!

As well, nuclearjoker thanks for your comment! Wink

we appreciated or your suggestions, discussions...!
That's why we're discussing and talking about us on the CATc dev-meetups. It's an important decision and everything has to be under control and we have to see all the pros and cons of new algos!
We're working on It as you can see

Have a nice day! And we're waiting to more suggestions!!

Hi to everyone!
We're studying the fact of implementing the X11 algo on CataloniaCoin because lots of people are asking for It.

As well, we have great news for you! next month, one of our dev-team members is going to make a conference in one city of Catalonia thanks to one Google Developers group.

We're working hard on this coin for the Catalan people future and we're going to spread the word of CATc among all the people who assist to the event!
We're going to post photos of everything next month!!

Less heat just means the gpu is more idle. But that just means the miner program will have to be adapted to eventually not being idle.

I am sorry but the arguement for heat and summer is bollocks. What about the 9 other months in europe that is a useful heat source?cam you moan aboit heat just crank the ovwr clocking lower, or go to a coin that uses pos.

In the end I am happy with any asic reaistant coin, but the algo imho doesn't matter as long as 1. Has no known colisions attacks 2. Is asic resistant .

What other benefits does x11 have over scrypt-n? I mean does it actually stay static algo and not a adaptive schedule? So asic can be built!

Gamers thay want to mine, just need to not overclock open their cases etc.

Darkcoin isn't getting traction because of x11 either it claims to do anonymous transactions.

That's awesome ! Lets us know if we can be of an assist somehow.

P.S. Incase you need some technical info abut the algorithm, you can ask Evan84. He developed the X11 and he hangs out at the Darkcoin's IRC channel.

More people from catalonia is getting interested on CataloniaCoin because of the promotion that we're doing here!!

This days more and more news are going to come.
As well, we're in contact with some people and new developers for the project!

Cheers Wink

Very good news !

Since we are still at the very beggining, i would like to throw an idea for discussion.
How would people feel if we switch hashing algorithm to something more efficient.Something like X11 or Heavy.

The advantages of doing so would be:
-Very low mining temperatures.That is 20-30C less (my 280x is at mining at 52C) The summer is almost here and the whole southern Europe is gonna have huge problem mining script based coins. Plus the low temperatures will allow many gamers to jump on the train, since they will be able to mine without the need of spacing the GPUs, modding the cases e.t.c
- 50 % less power consumption. No need to elaborate ! It says it all. But again from a gamer's perspective again, for example with 2x 280x, this makes a huge difference (250 watt against 500 Watt). (Before you start any financial argument against this please note that there will be a lot of gamers/people that will support the network for ideological reasons).
- Significantly less noise from the GPUs

- Increases the lifetime of the GPUs. Scrypt-N has a bad reputation.
- Much harder ASICs implementations since these are based on mix of encryption algorithms.
- X11 is well established algorithm with custom gravity well, p2pools etc. All the code is available.
- Heavy algorithm has builtin voting mechanism.

The disadvantage would be:
-A lot of additional work.
-Hard fork.
- Heavy algorithm is underdeveloped.

While we should not geographically limit the CATc network, i feel that the summer heat would discourage a lot of southern Europeans to support this coin, especially during the months before the referendum where we gonna need them the most ! Tbh i am not sure that even the northern Europeans are going to be able to mine scrypt-based coins.

Again my 2 CATc
