The ASIC MOB is out in full force these days ...
Another point is, that many of the main coin core teams probably have huge orders for ASICs too.
They probably have been bribed and been promised a lot of money will be thrown at these coins.
Its so obvious, a blunt takeover attempt, same as with Bitcoin.
And what is with Litecoin?
It's obviously a SCAM. It was sold as ASIC resistent.
Now the same people come out and say we need more ASICs, to make it secure.
It smells.
Stick to telling us the selling points of x11 over the algos we already have...
There is no interest in hearing your speculation regarding asic mafia here.
I've noted some simple points for you to look over above. Stick to the facts or GTFO we don't need the thread cluttered with your fantasy theories.
I have no asics ordered and have said before they look to be a waste of money, how much clearer can i be on asics. I don't have a scrypt asic, i don't have sha256 asic
Asics are going to be a waste of money... or a big risk with regards ROI same as sha256 asics are, if you are not first to get delivery you are taking a big risk.
Now we've established scrypt asics are not going to be worth it for most people.... let's get back to x11 and it's brand new advantages it does/does not bring over existing algos.
So far i have seen nobody explain why x11 was needed when we already had scryptN, QRK, and scrypt jane.
Start showing me why is it so amazing so i can start organising for the coins i am interest in to get swapped over to x11. Else i will just go scrypt N or scrypt Jane or stick with good old tested QRK.
Then again it may be best to switch it to merge mined scrypt for security if that is the most important part.
I stick to what ever I find necessary to mention, like you, on the 300 other threads your spraying your fud.
Well here's the main advantages
- up to 50% less power
- for the moment totally ASIC proof, among other methods
- standard software available
- runs on standard hardware
- state of the art coins available, bleeding edge software
- very able and active developers
It's 'you're' you illiterate fool, and you are not answering my questions you are just posting shit that means nothing. Either you are too dumb to address my questions or avoiding them on purpose.
-up to 50% less power is NOT essentially important you blithering fool for the reasons already posted 100x ie the miner is possibly not pushing the card to the limits - besides QRK is just as efficient if you are going on temps and power draw.
- asic proof - WRONG
- same as the other algos i mentioned already - scryptn , qrk, scrypt jane
- same as the other algos i mentioned already " " " "
- WRONG
- that has nothing to do with x11 itself moron.
So thanks you have described perfectly there is no need for x11 and it offers nothing new.
Yeah, and your sole purpose of starting this thread was to make propaganda against it.
All your "answers" show it. Details avoided. Keep it tabloid, for the average dumbass.
Let alone the point of developers. Has nothing to do with it, right. A coin should live off of its developers.
What have the Litecoin developers done to develop anything new in the past years?
It's normal behavior for development teams to build a wall around them and ignore outside developments.
They take progress as a threat to their working system.
It's a 100% sure road to failure, all the time. They either get fired, or the product fails.
Please answer the questions or be quiet. We are discussing x11 here. You are diverting conversation to your OWN chosen coin.
Here have another go at answering the questions... anything other than answering these specific questions is avoidance... one employs the tactic of avoidance when they have no answers or the answers they could give would display they have been lying or hiding something they do not want you to know about.... is that you running 1.8GH on the darkpool? come on how did you supercharge your miner? or how did you construct that asic on your own? Come now ....tell us the truth here.... has x11 been a big old scam from the start? hehe you crafty devil.
1. is it more efficient than qrk?
2. is it more secure than qrk?
3. is it more efficient than scrypt? or is the miner just crippled and can't use the full potential of the card?
4. are there more efficient miners already out for x11 that are more optimised?
5. is it more asic resistant that qrk?
6. is it more asic resistant that scyptN , scrypt jane
7. is it x12, x13, x99 going to be better? will we need to fork all of the coins over and over again?
just tell me some definite benefits of x11 that are real benefits not maybe beneficial but then again if the miner can be improved shown to not be beneficial at all.
come on how hard is it to sell the best solution out there right now???
Five pages and no HARD facts or evidence to support the need or use of x11. Now i notice the 1.8GH on dark pool though it does indeed look a bit scary for x11. Not only does it look like it provides no advantage over what we have, it looks like some people have certainly TUNED their miners or have asics. Sure could be a botnet or 2, or a 600MH scrypt gpu farm??
Even if that was actually real gpu on standard x11 miner software...which seems unlikely it still does not answer any of the above questions.
Far from x11 looking like the best thing since sliced bread, it looks pointless to actually dangerously like a marketing ploy with some big whales behind it pumping the shit out of noobs on their standard gpu standard x11 miners.
Well i checked in to find out if x11 was the best way to go for the coins i am interested in...... the answer still does not seem clear. It doesn't look like it is though right now so i check back on this thread in a while to see if some gpu / algo/ math boffin has turned up and shown us either way on this interesting topic. If x11 is the best way to go and gives us clear provable advantages over the algos we already had then sure let's welcome crypto to mostly move from scrypt to x11. However if it is shown to be nothing more than a marketing gimmick that give no real new advantage in any form over scryptN ,scrypt jane and QRK then let's save ourselves a lot of hassle. If we suspect there are hash whales already using x11 to get even more unfair advantage, let's kick that shit out and give them the finger.
