Good to see coins evolving like this, this coin seems to add some new features to the cryptocoin world, which is a good thing. Hope to see more of this.
It does seem kinda lame some miners have an order of magnitude advantage (if not orders)to regular miners. DAY 1 , Apparently almost right from the get go.
would recommend devs updating client download with the few obvious optimizations mentioned in this thread as well as the other obvious ones, or Lukejr posting a optimized update, if he would be so nice.
the sooner this happens the better as the "unfair" advantage could stick around to at least damage the coins rep in the future, if minimally. (Overall good launch)
If someone has the skill and makes the effort to optimize their miner, how is that unfair?
Seriously, I doubt what you say is true at all. I have been mining with the stock client on a i7-3820 that's not overclocke, and I have mined 22 blocks so far - the last was less than an hour ago. I have gone stretches of 10 hours with no block sometimes, and got 2 in 30 minutes another time. It's just luck, really.
