Why Coinotron? Why not a proper VTC pool that offers MON and PLX payouts?

i had to quit mining there because it has become pathetically low 0.15vtc / mh.s / day

i'm mining vtc on coinotron now but i never dump my coins i've been mining and holding vtc since late march .... i think i'm still doing good to the coin by not dumping the 10 ~ 15 coin that i get my hands on daily for the past 3 months

hashing in @ 3.5 mh/s n-scrypt because of the summer heat , in winter i used to hash @ 4 ~ 4.2 mh/s

  You're right. Really there is a need for it. I would ask everyone to mining on x11.greenpool.tk

  You're right. Really there is a need for it. I would ask everyone to mining on http://x11.[Suspicious link removed]/

Guys, the multipool x11.[Suspicious link removed] hash dropped by about 1/3rd. With it, the sell pressure from wafflepool is increasing.

Please take a moment to reconsider and mine on this pool.

You save half on electricity, keep your GPUs 10 degrees lower, and help neutralize scrypt-n multipools from building sell pressure.

In my case, I made 80% of VTC profitability yesterday. However, since I saved half on electricity... this comes out to more VTC after the cost of power.

That means you sold (drk) less than what it is currently worth.

You are suggesting we dump our vertcoin for this pathetic price as well?

Pro trading tips right there...LOL.

Stealth library in Python is ready, integration of stealth addresses’ generation into mnemonic system used in Electrum has been completed in full, we’ve done sending/receiving part in the wallet as well. Currently we are working on modifying Electrum server to support fetch_stealth method. Within 1 week or so a fully functional beta version will be available in the mainnet.
Our network has been upgraded already to the extent sufficient for relaying stealth transactions. Relevant updates to the source code have been committed on June 23, pool operators are encouraged to upgrade their execoind daemons in order to speed up stealth transactions in the network. We already submitted a dozen of stealth transactions to the blockchain, here is one of them (use one of the block explorers with txid given below):

We are giving the secrets, related to stealth address, to our readers, there is 5000 EXE reward to anybody who will manage to redeem it.
In fact, being given with the secrets, it’s a fairly simple task, so, before trying, make sure that the reward is still there!

Here is Txid, they said in the news (http://cryptocoinchronicle.com/2014/06/execoin-innovates-plus-giveaway/)

tell us... how can you defend your developments and innovations from the takeover by exe?

it is hard to understand how did it first. exe coin devs claim to be the first in this place... so what is the deal?

Jiggy0001 ‏@Jiggy0001
@fukukami0 @execoin_dev is it just an accident or why do you release the same features at the same time with vert???

 Fukukami ‏@fukukami0
@Jiggy0001 @execoin_dev Vert. announced stealth in qt client. We have released electrum-exe already, and are adding stealth addresses to it.

 Jiggy0001 ‏@Jiggy0001
@fukukami0 @execoin_dev ok, it just seems to be that unfair claim

 Fukukami ‏@fukukami0
@Jiggy0001 @execoin_dev We already have support for stealth in mainnet, just no gui for it. Stealth in #execoin were planned a long time ago

 Jiggy0001 ‏@Jiggy0001
@fukukami0 @execoin_dev ok, then sorry for that!

Stealth addresses are now live on MON mainnet. VTC release will follow once further beta testing has taken place in MON, so please help to test.

That would be first multi-PoW coin, am I right?

OK, but current situation insists for being open-minded...

Why this above can't be done a bit more flexible?


Scrypt-N -> Scrypt-N + X11 (or X13 or X15, whatever) -> New Algorithm + Scrypt-N + X11 -> New Algorithm


This first change should be done as soon as posible, this would give us more time for good choice of New Algorithm

and maybe for a best 'GPU only PoW' worldwide contest (vide: SHA-3 case for instance)

btw:
"Have you determined Ethereum's proof of work algorithm, and is it possible to describe in laymans terms?
A: We are planning on holding a contest in the style of NIST's AES contest for both the academic and open source communities to participate in. Our goal is to offer a large bounty for the first team to produce (...)
However, our latest line of thought is a memory-hard proof of work based the blockchain data itself. The precise algo would be: H = SHA3(block header ++ nonce)[12:] for i in [0...7] A = first address in blockchain state tree after H B = balance(A) H = SHA3(block header ++ nonce ++ A[0] ++ B[0] ++ ... ++ A[7] ++ B[7]) SUCCESS = 1 if H < 2256 / difficulty else 0 This has the following advantages: Extremely memory hard to compute; makes Dagger look like a child toy Extremely easy to verify"

Meh, I sold all my darkcoin at 0.01 because it was announced they would keep it closed source for the foreseeable future. I'd probably do the same for vert. That's not something I want to support.
