    Here is a new link for an updated bootset: https://mega.nz/#!aUNnzSKI!YRKaNzclISx77HrFgRWL_-U2XCGyyHOIiUUSWhy8CCI. The other link was 4 months behind.

    With the old bootset, it took me about 30 hours to sync with an i5. It's definitely something that needs to be addressed in the near future. The issue is that it takes too long to perform the scrypt-chacha hashes, especially for lower end CPUs. I think a clever trick can be made to verify previous blocks without doing a chacha hash of each one.

    I don't think NFactor19 favors 1080tis at all. From what I've gathered, it favors CPU processing much more than any GPU. You can also mine YAC with a 1050ti, and the 1050ti has a low price point. Also, the power usage on GPUs are extremely low compared to other algos, which has a good value proposition for miners who want to roll back their power usage but still mine a coin profitably.
