I've just seen myriad's responses to your tweet, I'm a bit disappointed.
They seem to think that any publicity is hype which is ridiculous and will lead to the slow death of this coin when another takes the same ideas of MYR, but actually promotes it and lets the world know it exists. Remember also that this is a declining market at the moment, so time is literally running out.
They are actively trying to hide the existence of Myriad and it is only a matter of time before someone else takes the initiative to build a similar, but successful coin.
Some extra publicity would certainly go down well. Myriad has two key selling points:
- Extra friendly to miners: mine what you want.
- Extra secure against attacks
The first is clear. But the second needs some technical analysis as backup; gut feeling or a few sentences as argument isn't enough. That's why the security analysis paper looking at MYR's susceptibility to attacks should be considered a priority. Get it produced and reviewed, and then push the promotions if it's favourable.
For instance, the tweet mentioned is a reply to an earlier one:
"To perform a double spend attack on #Myriad, the attacker would now need to gain 81% of the network hashrate. Yes, 81%. #MYR #Myriadcoin"
That's a bold statement. But it's (possibly) correct only if you assume that an attacker would stick to one algo. If he has 51% of the network hashrate (i.e. 51% of each algo's hashrate), he can double spend.
