      Sorry to say but i dont agree a lot, i trust in the communitie of Ftc but if you look at the long term chart it looks kinda depressing.

      and a 5 btc decrease in buy’s at this low rate is not nothing.

      But beside that i think a new algo can bring new power to FTC and hopefully a lot new investors

      Think about it that way, FTC was pumped over 100ksat 3 times as “litecoin clone”. I don’t know how long you actively trade or observe FTC, I remember few months ago somebody purchased 1000BTC+ of FTC at 40ksat and it seems he didn’t dumped those coins. Now we will be finaly recognized as not only litecoin clone. Anyway we should discuss this elsewhere, this is development thread. Price predictions or chart analysis doesn’t really belong here ;)

        Currently the source isn’t open. After the weekend though, it will be and anyone will be able to jump in and start on either an AMD or nVidia miner.

        What are your questions, I may be able to source some answer’s for you.

            After all this time, discussing and doing this work, there is no point in rushing out the new algo until it is ready. I would prefer to say we are aiming for a month, even you think it is ready today…

            The pools, miners and exchanges need some active pre-warning of at least 2 to 3 weeks, even when all is tested and integrated into feathercoind and working GPU miners are available. The software needs to be released and run on the old algorythm so every one can update pre changeover.

                I had some control interface development,neoscrypt option be opened. but it used scrypt kernel.

                There is hard work,kernel file is neoscrypt140707.cl

                            Nothing has changed yet. The source is out and the race is on.

                              is there any way we can test this neoscrypt miner now? can we use minerd.exe to mine pheonix beta?

                                You are completely correct as far as I think. But it does seem each coin having it’s own algorithm solves the high hash coin swappers problem for the altcoins, it doesn’t solve the 51% pools tho’ for Bitcoin.

                                The more specialized the algorithm, the less the average user understands it. Also the more holes and fewer eyes to patch them.

                                What we need is to begin promoting the services and activities we care about.

                                The technological changes are band-aids.

                                  Hi Ghostlander, really enjoyed the paper, can’t say I understood it all ! That’s great work on the new algo, I’m very impressed…

                                  Thanks mucho and max kudos …

                                      We still have time. If all goes well, the pr will get someone on board soon. otherwise, we will get a bounty together and hire someone if we have to.

                                          I hear John’s available … oh wait, no one can reach him after he setup an IPO (then allegedly vanished), P&D’d NXT and got “hacked” (allegedly) and “someone” ran off with 72 BTC or so.

                                          ;)

                                          If only someone had warned them. Oh wait, someone did … many times prior to all of this going down. :-
