Hilarious!  

You do realise this is a PUBLIC forum and your output is laid bare for all to see?

Evan came up with x11 and it was absolutely revolutionary and as such has been widely used and cloned into x13 ,x15 ect

there has been no credible evidence presented that it is insecure in any way.

Evan D is totally out in the open his picture and personal info is in the public domain.
How about you Mr Smooth?  care to come out from behind your shadowy pseudonym?

LOL

The 11 in x11 refers to the 11 SHA3 candidates which was exactly source of the original claim of NSA involvement.


Not at this time

No its pretty damn good at what it does; GPUs are only a bit faster than CPUs - unlike the x11 hoax which got totally gpu and fpga raped (it was advertised as CPU coin).

"The other thing to stare at in a more modern sense than the old CRAM (or berkeley's iram) is the effect that tsv-stacked DRAM [1] will have on memory-hard PoW functions.  This is something I don't think the current set of designers appreciate to the extent necessary.  The "CryptoNight" algorithm (Bytecoin, Monero) is an example of this:  It's a gorgeous design from the perspective of matching today's CPUs well, but its ASIC parallelism on a single chip is, at present, either area-limited by putting the 2MB scratchpad on die, or external pin-bandwidth limited by the need to stream all of the accesses to an external DRAM.  A tsv-stacked DRAM architecture would blow the lid off of those limits." - Quote from DGA.


I just got a screenshot of a friend who tried to use darksend and it took 14 hours to mix his lousy 280 coins with 2 rounds - is that what you guys call an InstantTX? Totally unuseable in ecommerce - even worse when he had send the money to someone he combined the outputs and i had to explain him that he just deanonymized himself



No it got broken and GPU raped after a few days - totally revolutionary - it's a copy of Quarks algo which introduced a bad mistake and thats why it got raped so damn fast.

Can we talk about this instant transaction thing. How does it supposedly work? In the world of crypto there are only 2 ways of doing transactions instantly. A trust based system or centralization. Has dark somehow over turned the metaphorical laws of gravity in the world of crypto or do they use one of those two. If they use one of those two what is the justification?

One thing we have to remember is that most people are not miners. The miner,  is someone who contributes to the network and helps keep it running. Then there is the investors, the investors can make or lose money, some get in really early and buy huge chunks of the coin and fucks up the distribution.
Then there are the users, they don't care about the price just prefer a stable price, so that they can buy and sell stuff without too much fluctuation. They want a solid network that can problems out of their business(government tax, slow transactions, etc.)

We are at a stage which mainly circles around miners and investors, therefore people are simply yelling at each other and promoting their stake.

Is it impossible to discuss this without devolving into the gutter? Damn people I did not think that I would be hitting the delete button 8 times in 3 pages. Be civil please.

mos tof this discussion is happening at this thread https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/985039.0

Off topic thread promoting spam IMO

I bought my DRK for dust months after the supposed instamine and mined a fair few at profit also. Anyone else could have done the same. All this whining now is people who didn't bet on DRK and are utterly enraged that it's the leading marketcap anon coin. If the devs have a nice chunk of coins then good luck to them, they're doing a great job and keep on delivering, time after time after time.

This moral crusade of XMR white knights vs DRK instamine scammers is just fucking tired, boring and ultimately ignored by the market. So what's the point?

Much better to spend 8 hours of your day doing good voluntary work than attacking coins, if you think you really are so benevolent. Some may see that point of view as trolling - I just see it as calling you out for what you really are - not a benevolent forum member with new investors interests at heart, just a bitter fuck.

Just to be transparent:

I posted the exact same message about this OP in both the Official Dark/Dash OP and Official Monero OP. The one in the Dark/Dash OP was deleted by bitcointalk staff.
