Maybe because he also feels an instamine is a tool of satan designed to concentrate power into the hands of a small few in the strongest positions. After that its down to who has the deepest pockets. Idk, that's my view anyway and I get the impression Evan's a bloke that thinks along the same lines.
FTFY.
October 12, 2015, 07:00:00 AM
Thanks for clarifying. My mistake.
At the same time I still don't think taking 11 other hashes and slapping them sequentially is anything of an "invention".
If so I'm curious why Evan never filed for a patent on X11 if he truly believes it is an invention.

You are welcome.
IMHO slapping existing things together can still be considered to be a invention - one can argue that the novelty standard for something like X11 is low though
Nevertheless there is no law forcing you to file for a patent before calling something a invention. X11 is open source anyway, so there is no point to file for a patent. Use it as is.

These guys redefine the term sociapath in the digital context. it's really sad, I suppose Dash just has to put up with the sideshow clowns
LoL. You should check this thread. It's a positive feeding frenzy
Reminded me of a bunch of stray dogs scrapping over a bone.
May they find peace in some harbour since it doesn't seem to exist in their own beloved 'privacy' coin.

Both coins were launched on 2014-01-19 - additionally the ChainCoin dev states that the similarity is "purely coincidence".

It uses an algorithm similar to XCoin (11 hashes, but in a different order). This is purely coincidence, I already had the client developed a couple of days ago. XCoin uses the Litecoin base afaik and ChainCoin uses a Bitcoin base and includes transaction messages.

Must be a slow day over at Monero
I think they're just using Dash as a comfort blanket for now.
They take comfort in the failure of their own coin by beating on Dash...kind of like an abusive spouse lol.
These guys redefine the term sociapath in the digital context. it's really sad, I suppose Dash just has to put up with the sideshow clowns until certain whales on their only exchange run out of BTC.
Might be a while yet, aparently the main one has 100,000 BTC and will prop it up regardless of how much they run around spreading toxicity all over the Alt community.
Good job that with Evolution, Dash will be mainstream in the not to distant future and these trolls are going to be the biggest Luddites in the Bitcoin/Dash world...
EDIT: And with that revelation...bored of BCT trolls. Back to DashTalk

First user mentioning "X11"
Hey was there a problem with DarkGravityWave after all? I remember reading something?
Yeah, there's the possibility of a timewarp exploit (still) and a problem with 32bit. Working on the patch in this branch:
https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin/commits/dgw-fixes/src
Hi Evan, I just wanted to tell you that I will be using your X11 algorithm for a coin I'm creating. It definitely seems like the best solution out there right now. I'm currently using a KGW implementation with a time warp limitation but will be upgrading to your Dark Gravity Wave when it's completed - full credit given wherever I can . Although I won't be using your Darksend when it becomes open source, I believe that is yours to keep and have as a selling point for Darkcoin.
Thank you for all your contributions to the crypto community.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4592564
So the whole claim of "First X11" or "Inventor of X11" is very questionable.
Plus inventing X11 isn't something you should be bragging about:
As for what you plan meeting reality and mashing algos together being good crypto, we'll have to agree to disagree.
Yes, lets just talk about this then. How is X11 bad for crypto?
It's used for proof-of-work and protecting our decentralized oracle implementation. How would you use a weakness in one of the 11 algorithms to attack the currency?
Do you also realize if I'm wrong and we got attacked, we would just switch to another algorithm? Just like if SHA256 had issues, the bitcoin team would have to switch as well. Instead of switching out the entire algorithm, we could use 10 hashes instead of 11 as the chain.
Also, speaking of distribution. The whole idea behind inventing X11 was that it would reduce the heat/wear-and-tear on GPUs that were used for mining. This allowed a really long period (...still going after 1.5 years) of hobbyist miners using GPUs to mine Dash.
Didn't you know that 11 > 1?
11 must be better because it is bigger.
October 12, 2015, 06:30:50 AM
Really that's something for a decent coder to answer (ie, not me) but the absolute most someone will get from hashing a single part faster is a little under 10%, no? And that assumes hashing instantly, realistically the absolute best is going to be maybe 80% quicker so it's nearer something like 6% absolute maximum gain. Not a whole lot but I'm sure any number of algos could be stacked together if its an issue, X1111 maybe and let folks get whatever they can from each of 'em.
Its the usual trolls attacking the first 2 days of the Dash launch again. The same people (AdamWhite, Smooth/Smoothie, GeneralizeThis etc plus their newbie sockpuppets) have been doing it here over 100's of posts for around 8 months now ever since their own coin was pumped in line with the Dash rebrand and they feel that their coin "deserves" to have a higher valuation and that trolling will achieve that. They are all from a single competitor who's main effort goes into trolling instead of developing, and most Dash users have them on ignore since many months.
It's best not to engage them as they feed of that and it lets them amplify their trolling and toxicity, so I think just put them on ignore.
And...as the issues they raised 100s of times have been replied to in detail 100s of times, I think it's best to just give them these links and put them back on ignore:
It's looking that way, was expecting better but whatever :/ Just the same tough going to push through by the looks of it, that which doesn't kill us... The face to face stuff with folks that actually matter seems to be going incredibly well at the mo so momentum's going Darks way and there can't be many that take this multi threaded trollbox of a forum seriously these days anyway.
Smoothie, if you're just going to cherry pick points as you please and ignore all arguments the you've an agenda behind your posts and I'll be screwed if I'm supporting you with arguments that help you with that, if you've no time for ethics then I've no time for you.

It's an old story by now. Dash's thread is unmoderated so it's an easy target for them. After 8 months they still don't get it even though the bottom has fallen out of their market as a result. There's one troll born every minute...

Did you have a look at what was actually happening in the first few weeks? Its understandable from the usual Gordon Gecko wanabe's but I thought you'd be more objective about it, it looks obvious to me that this started out as another pet project, try out a few ideas and see what happens, and it turned out they where damn good ideas. Idk, Bitcoin got the same kind of angst from folks that missed the boat and where jealous of the size of Satoshis stash and there's not even a stash to point at here, loads of folks where mining from the start :/
EDIT: And you're missing the first 4 months from that chart, release was in January.
At least in satoshi's case I can accept him having a huge amount of coins (which BTW he has not moved).
Simply for the reason that he put his whitepaper and code out there for a couple years and was able to take proof of work and put it into a decentralized ledger we know as the blockchain.
He deserves every bit of what credit he gets for creating bitcoin.
To say that Evan "invented" X11 by taking other people's hashing algorithms and slapping them together is a stretch.
