I do wonder how much a new algorithm will scare people.
Sha and Scrypt are the two main kinds that most mining applications / pools support.
People can also see a coin's worth on CoinWarz if it is Sha or Scrypt.
Sure there may be asics coming out but it is still twice as profitable mining Sha coins for the same cost in hardware plus there are so many alt coins out there to mine now.

If we switch to any other algorithms it couldn't be cpu minable as cpu mining are very slow on the average computer but bots and asics could do it quickly, It would have to be gpu mining, which in a sense are still asics and have gpu server farms everywhere.
The only way to stop these farms with their incredibly efficient and expensive gpu devices is to make it so difficult for them to mine that they would lose money over power costs. This would also make the average person not be able to mine without technically losing money with their slower and more power intensive hardware.

Is there any algorithm that anyone knows of that would actually make a hard fork at this stage worthwhile?
If we are starting the campaign tomorrow, then it can also be off putting to many people with the terms of a hard fork.



This is a good point, and any hard fork always has risks. What do you think we can do to improve the coin other than an algo change? I agree with your post on reddit, I think we need a site that can allow people to buy NYAN with USD. Since you made nyancoin.me, do you think you can add that feature to your site?

Ahh, he he posted again advertising his site on this page then I posted that post right after his post to point out that he is the scammer.

He got deleted now so it does look pretty silly.

nyan.pool.mn invites you to mine NyanCoin! 0% fee!
At pool.mn branded pools you will enjoy 0% fee and 100% uptime as ~2Gh/s worth of miners all over the world do!
 

owner of this pool is a known scammer who ripped off many people.  He keeps making new accounts with new names to try and promote this lame pool constantly be warned, use at your own risk.

What is being done to scam people so we can watch out for those signs?

I wouldn't say "scam" (I haven't been cheated, AFAIK), but if you look in the pool's support forum (http://pool.mn, I think) you will see that the 100% uptime claim is a lie.

Normally he/she has been spamming as "gerbill2". Now it's "Areenver". I know that a different pool's account was temp banned for spamming, so maybe "Areenver" was created to get around a ban on "gerbill2."

While I'm at it, I cut a lot of the discussion out of this one, but an experienced pool operator had to help gerbil out with a different coin here. Here is part of what they said. You can click on the links to the posts to see the whole thing:
I just don't understand why the confirmations are so slow..

And next time you advertise your pool, please leave the "Skilled admin" line out. The "I just don't understand" line proves that the claim is false Smiley

Were we not just talking about this guy on the last page?

 Huh I don't think so. I looked back a couple of pages and didn't see anything. Do you see anything? The "100% uptime" claim, despite several days of downtime, was mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I think.

Of course, it's true that we were talking about this one page ago now, because your reply is one page later than what you are replying to.

You did see that my previous comment was in answer to your question, right? It's a little odd that you would ask a question, then wonder if we were just talking about that subject.

It would be nice if NYAN will do have Scrypt + X11 mining algo like in MyriadCoin. Thus NYAN will involve more community (CPU, GPU, Asic miners).
