I think I can speak here with some authority on Myriad. I agree on your comments regarding negativity, and there is no need for that. The person who has called themselves "myriadcoin" here does not represent Myriad, the team working on Myriad, nor the Myriad community in general.

I would appreciate it if this "myriadcoin" person would please either desist from posting here using that nickname (preferable), or modify his profile to clearly identify that he does not represent the coin.

DGB and MYR can and will continue to co-exist, we share a common background and common technology, and can both benefit from each others existence.

First, I have been a fan of MYR since the beginning but I have issues with the throwing DGB under the bus.

Negativity breeds more negativity and TBH the allegations are ridiculous.

Jared and team have done a great job marketing and building a community and IMHO that separates the winners from the losers in the crypto game.

I still hold a nice bag of MYR but because of aforementioned better moves I hold 5X as many DGB.


I still support MYR but would like to see a higher level of professionalism in this thread from those that represent MYR and some real effort on getting the word out.

thanks,
john

This community should tell this guy to stop making Myriad  coin looking really bad.
He is not helping you at all.

This isnt professionnal or either positive for Myriad.
Good luck with him.

do you think Myr price is going back to 20sat one day in not to long ?

because i started mining in july , and then with that price and difficulty  it was enough to pay my r9 in 1 year
but now price get down and that is not the worst part , difficulty get higher on skein this 2 last weeks
i was hoping if price get down   miners move to over coins so difficulty get down  but it s not  

end til now i found nothing els to mine with r9 ,  it s less that half the myr income even with myr at 14sat

Discussion on Reddit about a new website. I'm liking the look of that picture! http://myriad.nutty.one/images/newweb.png

Just submitted a ticket, since it seems they have it on the voting list ( https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Home/Voting ) as myRAID, instead of Myriad.

"as AUX-POW on two algos is not exactly nothing"

YEAH BABY!

but srsly get myr listed on cryptopia ... pls.

"I got 99 problems but a coin ain't one."

but a bitch is sure one,
ALTS myr is like the very best fukin sees the big picture, coded a solution, released to the wildlings, shizznitz that is out there!

Sigh... I don't think there has been nothing going on, quite the contrary as AUX-POW on two algos is not exactly nothing.... As stated earlier, other forums for other coins and all.. I take it as a complement that other coins want to copy Myriad, good luck with that.

Hi

What is current situation with this coin?
I am sorry for not following the development closely this year
(by that I mean not at all, but on the positive note I still hold some MYR)

I got 99 problems but a coin ain't one.

Hi sir, Do you have any problems?

8bitcoder didn't code the last hardfork to add auxpow to sha and scrypt, change diff retarget, and stretch emission; it was done by nzsquirrell. It was eventually added to original repo by 8bitcoder, but we're not necessarily counting on a single anonymous individual.

Any discussion is better than no discussion. We gotta get the ball rolling somehow.... I think a great way to advertise would be to publish a chart showing DigiByte's emission overlayed with Myriad's.

I think it would be best to talk about other coins in their forums. Personally, I'd rather see more Myriad trolls

No, and that's the problem Myriad has had all along. The community is extremely reluctant to 'pump' the coin. The reality is, the best way to advertise an altcoin is still in the Announcements (Altcoins) second of bitcointalk. If people only post when it's absolutely necessary, this thread never gets bumped. Everyone sees Digibyte on the first page non-stop because its developers and their sock puppets post all day. Most people have heard of Digibyte, but not Myriad, and assume Digibyte is the original.

We can fix this by having discussions... That doesn't mean talking shit, but it does mean we can lower the bar a bit. There's a lot worthy of discussion that never gets discussed here.

For one thing, does anyone have any information about Digibyte's emission? Don't say it's irrelevant please, because it is useful for marketing Myriad.

It's a bit sad to see MYR doing so bad in market cap while DGB with essentially the same algos doing so good. MYR was traded at hundreds of sats initially and declined to single digits now. Any plans to improve market acceptance?

Well, in the case of Myriad, it wasn't done to advantage early miners. The network seemed to make a mind of its own that 1 minute target block time was more suitable. The average block time was never getting close to its target. It had been gradually increasing from the target of 30s to an average of 50s+. This had been going on for many months. The reason was that sha256d and scrypt were being hit hard by profit switching miners. The algos generally had low hash rates, and large miners were mining up many blocks in a short time whenever the difficulty got low enough, then switching. Often blocks wouldn't get found on those algorithms for days due to the high difficulty and low hash rate. Obviously this posed a huge security threat, as well as being unfair for miners. The solution was to switch to auxpow on sha and scrypt. Then blocks started getting consistently found. Also there was a bit of a problem with Groestl finding blocks, too, which was fixed with the new chain selection algorithm.

Had the target block time not increased to 1m per algo, the new hard fork would have seen a sudden increase in emission by possibly 60%.  

Basically, the emission didn't get reduced by a factor of 2x. It was more like 1.25x, and at the rate things were going, the average block time could have been headed towards 1m without the hardfork anyway, which would have been very bad news. In the very exceptional case of Myriad, increasing the target block time was actually the fairest option.

I think this speaks to the level-headedness of Myriad developers, who, by the way, are not a foundation or company or any sort of organisation. They are a loose collective of people who have taken an interest in Myriad along the way. This grassroots nature sets Myriad apart from the vast majority of other coins, and is why I think Myriad will stand the test of time. Other coins will die with the company spearheading them, but the small Myriad community will grow and continue to live on. If you've been watching http://myriad.nutty.one , you can see that Myriad appears to be growing. The peer wallet count averages in the 60s lately. Before the hard fork, it was usually in the 40s. Also note that there has been an increase in the average hash rate on the GPU algorithms by a factor of almost 2x. In spite of the fact that emission for those algorithms has halved!

I'm

I think normal checkpoints: https://github.com/myriadcoin/myriadcoin/blob/master/src/checkpoints.h

It is merge-mined on two of the five algos (sha and scrypt), while the other three are not auxpow (qubit, skein, and myr-groestl).

thank you

does MYR have ACP? Or normal checkpoints?
merged mining?

It's not just about poorly or evenly distributed - it's about fairly distributed. Digibyte has/had a premine, Myriad did not. Digibyte apparently aggressively cut its emission schedule, although when I asked about it on their thread I was basically ignored and it seems non-trivial to dig up info on it; Myriad also reduced it's emission by a factor of 2x, a move that I wasn't really a fan of, but did so at a later point in its life, and I'm going to assume less aggressively than DGB.
