I voted for scrypt, x11, prime, neoscrypt, groestl. Mostly because I'm a big fan of Myriadcoin and with this option people (me) could mine scrypt and merge mine myriad, and also give some exposure to myr-groestl algo (or groestl-groestl, I also like groestlcoin).

I don't think there's much difference between x11 and other x-algos. I believe they all use same algos just different order and rounds of hashing. Prime I just know that it looks for prime numbers, and I think the only GPU miner is a closed source claymore one that forces you to "donate" to him. Neoscrypt seems like a pretty good option for GPU.

Honestly, it's a tough decision, but I think as long as you stick with relatively popular algos (that have well developed and ideally open source miners) then you can't go too far astray.

not sure about the rrest of your thoughts..  but if x11 is similar to x15 etc... wouldnt we just go x17 or whatevers the highest?

and gpu   isnt that Blake?    unless i missed a change there..which is possible.
if that happened, i would jump off blake and go...  nscypt or ..again only cuz i have done it.

It looks like a few popular algos will be left out no matter what we pick.

So lets be pliant and willing to change it up if our first multi-algo recipe doesn't taste as good as it should.

I haven't voted yet. I'm going to do more due diligence and read more comments from you guys before i vote again.

Every change of algo(s) would require a hard fork, unless some major re-engineering of the multi algo codebase was implemented. Imo, that's not something you want to be pushing miners and exchanges and users into doing: hard forking on a regular basis.

Ok understood. SO let's get this right Wink

JW i respect your opinion, what do you think the best choice is?

well, we are choosing for 4 algo setups.
I kinda thought you (dev) mentioned up to 5 or 6.... Wink

btw sorry i wasnt around much last night or earlier today, i pinched a nerve in my back last night.. it's getting a bit easier to walk now though. should be back to normal in a day or two.


right now i'm testing some of the new updates to our codebase that myself and others made this week, and they look great! the splash screen only shows for a sec and then wallet opens immediately, instead of a lag..

the chat window now has proper spacing and help commands, and its not seperating words with .'s anymore.

after the multi algo switch, things should be alot smoother! really excited..

newest updates can be seen here:

https://github.com/vergecurrency/VERGE/commits/master

Damn that sucks Dev, pinched nerves are no bueno. Look into getting an inversion table. Stretching helps. Hope you feel better soon brother!

------

Thinking about this switch, lets not lock into stone our algos. If we think one is underperforming and not pulling enough network weight, should we consider swapping it out for another algo?

$XVG - The Standard in Crypto as a Currency!
my virus scan deletes xvg wallet for windows!  why so?

i don't know, time to get a new virus scanner!

no but really, probably because it has cpu-mining capability.. that would be my guess.

how tu vote this ?

You can't vote unless you are higher 'level' on the forum.  ie: your status is a newbie still.

I forget the number/time? that you need.  at a completely guess its 10posts, not sure if time frame minimum either.

(the Forum board itself has that ...ruling... in place to prevent cheats, etc.)

Part of the problem for me is...

I know scrypt, blake  and...thats really it.

no idea what prime,quark, groest...etc  have going for them...

I'll try to look them up before i vote this time... (but i work 9hrs today, and by the time i get to this, i'll probably forget Smiley )


Scrypt is scrypt.

i liked blake...not sure ill do it again...but if verge puts it on, i would look at my rig and see what i need to rebuild it lol.

scrypt, x17, prime, lyra2rev2, quark - my vote, either way any of the options look good.

Is the nethash still over 500 Ghash, or does it just say that, because  block 292,851 hasn't been cracked yet?
