Topic: [$XVG] VERGE [POW][MultiAlgo][TOR/i2P][no premine/ico!] - page 548. (Read 843765 times)

i never even heard of them, have they ever mentioned to us they had verge on their pool? would be nice if the admins had let us known. what version are they on? normally pool owners let the community know, so they can be alerted when there are new updates, etc.

known issue. (most likely same issuee as being discussed for the last 6 pages anyhow)

keep hashing it helps alot.


read the poll stats  this weekend that poll ends (i think)

and the setup changes to fix the issues. (or alleviate)

g

I'd suggest reading the pages of forum talk because it might just be orphaned block issue that we are fixing soon through this multi-algo approach.  Let us know if this is not the case though please.

well, i kinda mean dead as in no updates...bugfix etc.

course, i was also thinking x series was the same..'team'  and 17 was the latest, then he gave up...  not that he was only on 17.

means someone else might do a x18 etc :0

g

The guy created the X17 algo and the original X17 coin BitBlock then he released the second X17 coin Peoples Currency and they were on poloniex exchange , and then he just poof , disappeared , he never dumped coins or there wasnt any pre-mine , but as for the algo its not dead i seen a few coins use it , and just the X17 as far as I know was his only algo he created , but the algo cant go dead it works , it will only go dead if no-one uses it !~
Other may want to modify it but as far as I know it works fine , I have never had any problems with it !~

So the x17 dev walked away?  that mean its gonna go dead?   he do all the x's  or just 17?

(thinking of future there)
g

It works used it myself with the X17 coins and yes will be using it if X17 is used as one of the multi-algo's

No Im just a country boy from aussie mate lol , I was helping the Dev that created the first X17 coin , and he developed it all , he spent all this time developing and just walked away , i hosted stuff for him and helped with other parts to do with the coin development !!

that's nice! hope you stick around and help us on mining X17

You're welcome.

A great thing about multi-algo is many people can mine XVG now the easy way, most people have a PC with a GPU and choose an algo that fits with their hardware. You may not have lots of hashpower but you still mine some XVG and support the network.

And as the dev stated, the diff won't go crazy if somebody points extreme hashpower to the network and the confirmation times get f*cked up.

Verge is great already and will be awesome and one of the best coins when multi-algo is implemented.

you dont think we should wait for the next release? what if they add us today and then have to change their wallet so soon? i think waiting is best.

@wttbs - thanks for the summary, huge help.

Voted ....and seem to have made the majority choice.

did you create that miner? or is it just a clone of another repo?

That is excellent summary.  wish it was up before I voted.  it might have changed my direction.  (tho, it doesnt look like it did..it might have)

g

Edit.  Just read the Blake2  page.   so many versions...    looks like Blake2b woulda been my choice.    64b ! lol.         and looks totally different than what i was mining.

maybe not. but dang.

g

New my github would get used for something one day lol

Some info about the algorithms:

Quark
Quark is super secure and uses a different hashing algorithm with 9 rounds of hashing from 6 unique hashing functions (blake, groestl, blue midnight wish, jh, SHA-3, skein). 3 rounds deliver a random hashing function. Even though most believe the SHA2 is sufficient at present, technology is always changing and improving. Just one of Quark's algos, SHA-3, was developed after SHA-2 in case it was somehow comprised in the future. The multiple hash gives a further layer of security against unknowns that will enter the market down the road. Only CPU mined

Groestl
The design of Grøstl is transparent and based on principles very different from those used in the SHA-family.The two permutations used are constructed using the wide trail design strategy, which makes it possible to give strong statements about the resistance of Grøstl against large classes of cryptanalytic attacks. Moreover, if these permutations are assumed to be ideal, there is a proof for the security of the hash function.
Can and is accelerated by the hardware AES support present in most modern Intel CPUs, which helps reduce the efficiency gap between a CPU and other implementations. Groestl (old GPU/CPU) – Groestl makes a wide range of tradeoffs between throughput, latency, and power consumption. Because of this, groestl uses less power per hash than other algos. Due to the less complex hashing, Groestl performs well on older GPU’s as well as CPU’s.
tech info: http://www.groestl.info/Groestl.pdf

Blake2s
The Blake2s algorithm is a new entry in the crypto mining scene and while initially there was only CPU mining support available for it now there is also a ccMiner fork with support for Blake2s algorithm on Nvidia GPUs (source). The initial CPU mining support for Blake2s was first introduced in cpumuiner-multi from tpruvot, though there is now a new more-efficient CPU miner available here. With the release of a GPU miner however CPU mining might be not worth it anymore, even though for the moment there is only GPU mining available for Nvidia-based video cards and no for AMD, but soon we are probably going to see Blake2s supported on AMD as well.

X17
No much recent info, most is from 2014   it's GPU based mining. You can use SGminer with -X17 option: https://github.com/LordzS/sgminer-x17

scrypt
well known. info: https://litecoin.info/Scrypt
You can use GPU's or Scrypt-miners.

lyra2rev2
a proof-of-work algorithm. GPU mining. Can be used by SGminer as well.

Neoscrypt
NeoScrypt is CPU and GPU mining

Let's wait as suggested by dev!

I think we should do one more round of Poloniex coin request https://poloniex.com/coinRequest
you can add whatever you think is relevant this is what I just sent them

That's cool clickerz   Verge is always pushing more and more it's a great coin which definately will keep growing you got in at a very good time  

I voted scrypt, x17, lyra2rev2, blake2s . Hope they  will be included soon.


I bought my first XVG today from c-cex and Im waiting for this new multi algorithm wallet to transfer on my desktop. I am very convince that this coin has a great potential in the future.  I believe on people behind this project.

let it sit and check it later, itll sync, just takes a while. this issue will be fixed in the new multi algo release coming out shortly.
