Nice write up OP. Btw Spoetnik, you're wrong most of the time.
I am alwaysrightwrong, come to terms with it

Great write up and discussion great stuff.
any opinions on lyra2 that vertcoin is supposed to be coming out with? they claim it will be easier on the cards than scrypt ... wonder if it has this compromise
Ehehehe. I'm gonna have fun with Lyra2RE. The current code for Lyra2 - even without the extra hashes - is quite bad. Once it works, I'll have a field day.
In other words - your closed sourced miner will be much more efficient than the open source one huh
By a mile, likely. By the way, technically, my miner is open source - those who it is shared with have the source - I'm just picky about who I share it with.
Nothing wrong with that. Just out of curiosity why do you normally sell your miner or mine yourself instead of releasing a closed source with a %?

P.S. I'm picking up some jackpotcoin just 'cuz i love you spotniek

well i was impressed by your work though good job 
and X7 i have no idea LOL
JHA aka: Jackpotcoin uses mix of 5 .an X5 algo of sorts
and it is less of heat draw than X11 too

wolf, I don't get what you are trying to say. Can you put in layman terms please?
X11 runs cold because the implementation sucks and a good part of the GPU is idle.
no shit i said that when it came out and they ran around advertising that and you all argued with me endlessly LOL
I told you so
PS:
Put Blocknet in your topic title if you want people to read this
The world is tuned in and we need up to the minute late breaking Blocknet-gate scandal coverage !
PPS:
I can post 50 quotes of me saying that 6 months ago too if need be
thanks for proving my rightness though..
I am always right, come to terms with it
Additionally, x13 and x15 suck for the same reason. The x14 and x17 PoW functions, too, but nobody cares about them.
What about the X7 that Cryptonite uses?

The dark coin wiki says this about it.
Is X11 cooler in GPUs because it's inefficient?
Not necessarily. Bitcoin mining in GPUs (SHA256) requires less energy than Scrypt and yet no-one claims that SHA256 implementation is inefficient – it's just that there are differences in how each hashing algorithm uses the hardware.
Regarding X11, apparently the “gaps” in the chaining sequence, as one algorithm is hashed with the next algorithm, provide for a “breathing” space or “lag”. An alternative explanation is that certain algorithms (out of the 11) are just slow when processed by a GPU and thus slow down the whole process. The hashing of a chain can only go as fast as the slowest algorithm of the chain.
There should be some level of optimization possible in some of the hashing algorithms that increase the hashrate and energy consumption in future versions of the GPU miners. Groestl in particular is considered to be improvable.

But that is actually nice on the hardware. Less wear and tear.

This makes more sense than most of the guesses out there. Thanks for for sharing this answer with us.
