Any new development with this coin? Plans to switch to Lyre2RE2? Switching algos would probably get this coin on another pool or two which is needed. Current Crypto network is almost down since aikapool went down. Hopefully aika will come back up soon or at least some others will start solo mining....
Current algo is better.
Lyra2 is not a secure algo. That is why Lyra2v2 was created, to be secure. The algo is one of the reasons this coin has not grown that much. Bigger pools or exchanges will not take on a regular Lyra2 coin. Cryto's network is not healthy especially since aikapool went down; it needs another pool. Also someone needs to fix solo mining. I am currently solo mining, I have found at least 8 blocks tonight but my miner say: "accepted: 0/584 (diff 0.127), 2965.80 kH/s (booooo)." You would think it would at least be 8/584, this is discouraging to anyone trying to solo mine.
Lyra2v2 is not more secure than the first one, v2 was created to stop a mining bot but there are bots for GPUs too, there is one bot for Vanilla that was used later for Decred and can mine other algos too.
Since Vert became Lyra2REv2 it has not grow any more, the same for Mona. There are others like Lyrabar and Zoomcoin, where are they now?
Crypto still alive even with it's lazy dev.
For solo mining add --coinbase-addr=WalletAddress with 'cpuminer-opt-3.4.5 win' 3.4.7 won't work. It would be cool to know the --coinbase-addr equivalent for sgminer.
