we need so much votes to go on mintpal.. This voting system were you have to pay to vote, don't like it.

We need Poloniex, but there is no hurry.

Actually, with the low BTC rate, many people dump their altcoin to get BTC and then to get fiat...
When the trust in BTC will come back, we will see more interest in altcoins, and in GroestlCoin. It will be the moment to be on a big exchange.

Below is a message posted on the Darkcoin thread regarding some shots accross X11's bough from Adam Back (brain-box cyptographer who invented hashcash) and Charlie Lee (of LTC fame).

I only draw it to your attention so that we might feel safe from such criticism by using a rock solid hashing algo (already scrutinized and accepted by the scientific community) with cool diffusion features etc that make it superior (arguably) to any other hashing algo out there. 

Go Grøstl & Happy Hashing Smiley

Any views on Charlie Lee, founder of Litecoin, on X11 being less secure than scrypt?

X11 is Far Worse
X11 suffers from the problems stemming from increased propagation latency and slow verification, and adds even worse susceptibility to ASIC advantage.  It is a mere mishmash of 11 separate algorithms that are now GPU mineable (according to Darkcoin’s homepage).  Anything GPU mineable can be implemented in custom hardware.  To make matters worse, ASIC’s could even have a major speedup advantage over GPU’s.   adam3mus said, “it does seem likely that eg if the unused space due to heat can be filled with the other hashes, then it can all be pipelined together and no slowdown.  the only cost is replicating different hash functions which doesnt seem particularly hard”

So a switch to X11 only delays the inevitable.  Switching the hash to X11 would only spite the current manufacturers while ultimately failing in the goal of preventing ASIC’s later.  It gets even worse.  If the cost of entry for a particular PoW is very high by design, that increases the chance of fewer competing manufacturers entering a market.  This is the worst possible outcome for any Bitcoin-like network that relies upon large quantities of greedy miners to outdo each other to maintain network security.

The quoted adam3mus is a brain on legs. He knows far too much about hashing, I think he invented hashcash wash was used to make bitcoin feasible. He does, however, suffer from alt-coin phobia.

^ agree with that. Too bad beings of very high intelligence quotients are already dumping

I'm not averse to a bit of dumping > helps to distribute the currency more

It seems likely that the Grøstlcoin dev is in fact one of the Grøstl algo authors.

If so we could not wish for a better dev to oversee the coins development.

This algo is the best so far... my GPU loves it! Cheesy

One of the advantages of the Groestl algo is that it has been scrutinized by serious mathematicians - and impressed.
It's very sad how great hashing algorithm like groestl is being overlooked by the community. Nobody cares anymore. It's all just pump and dump, next shitcoin, rinse and repeat. Nobody seem to care about real progress in technology anymore.
Maybe people are not so dumb anymore and dont get lured into pump and dump instamine scams?

Just as a reminder, 8,6% of the total number of coins has been mined in less than 2 weeks.
What are you whining here for? Go whine in Blackcoin thread instead. That shit was 100% instamined in one week and it's so adored by the community. Nothing is stopping you mining Groestlcoin. Block reward is still plenty and difficulty is still very low. Or GTFO!

This coin is certainly attractively different, I have been mining since Dec and this is the first time I have come across a coin that I actually want to stick with. Main advantages being low power, low heat, better for my GPU's they will live longer, and this Algo will not be affected by the ASIC miners that are about to infiltrate the Scrypt coin world, just as they had done with Bit Coin! It is impossible to mine Bitcoin with a GPU now and it will also be impossible to mine Scrypt coin with GPU in 3 months time..... watch this space as difficulty will climb across all Scrypt coins, its only a matter of time.

After the optimized cpu miner is released (bounty still awaiting) I predict Groestl will be the most "democratic" algo.

Just a reminder… Groestl is the Austrian culinary term for hash (brown)

@ gruve_p: what kind of relationship (if any) do you have with the authors of the Grosetl paper?

thanks


I think I may have stumbled into the answer to this question. If right - we're good Smiley

Oh, I am sorry.  Please don't take it personally. We all read our own associations ... into each other's thoughts. And I actually overlooked your words "early bird" - and then after configuring my rig for this coin, the first disappointment about the price made me using your "optimists" as a starting point for my rant. Guilty as charged.

And yes, after analyzing this coin, I also prefer to buy around 500 now - and before other investors start reading my posts   Wink  Thank you, miners!

Enjoy the discount shopping, stizz   Cool

You can buy for 500 now or wait a couple of weeks and buy below 1 satoshi.
