Hi everyone

multialgo

I came here to ask— would Feathercoin devs consider forking to multi-algo (like in Myriad)?

It’s become rather popular lately, being imitated by Digibyte, Digitalcoin, and soon to be Auroracoin, Verge, among others.

Feathercoin could keep its neoscrypt and add other algorithms. The possibilities are endless:

~ 80% of blocks neoscrypt
~ 10% sha256d, 10% scrypt, merge mining enabled

OR

~ 25% neoscrypt
~ 25% blake2s
~ 25% groestl
~ 25% keccak

Just two ideas…

THE ADVANTAGES

More hash power!
If neoscrypt difficulty ever spikes, blocks continue to be found
Mining is more decentralised— greater farm resistance?

Hi, thanks for interesting offer. But I am worried we have bit different plans at the moment :)

AFAIR Myriad struggled to keep all 5 algorithms balanced and set SHA-256d and Scrypt to merge mining eventually.

FTC makes use of BLAKE2s already as a part of NeoScrypt. If I wanted it a simple way, I could just use BLAKE2s two years ago. However it isn’t ASIC resistant. Neither Groestl nor Keccak.
