New "CPU-Only" algorithm by a Monero fork: github.com/deroproject/astrobwt

lol dero

Is that a scam ? I vaguely recognize the name, can't recall what it is though.

i mean, 10% premine. i have low criteria for scams. namely, there was a premine.

Heh. I don't. 10% does seem excessive, though.

heh, then ETH is the scammest scam with 70M premined coins

How much was that in % ?

Bytecoin was 82%. Dash was less, but the dishonesty brings it right back up fast. Those are the scam exemplars to beat :)

ETH? Current supply is 109M, so bigger part was a premine

o_O

Holy mackerel. I didn't realise it was that much.

So it probably beat bytecoin ::D

atrobwt looks like some attempt at memory hardness, I'd say someone will destroy it with a software optimization

and it's not ASIC resistant at all, it's probably a very good target for HBM FPGAs

BWT is used in bzip2, so good enough implementation should be there

Also they copied bulletproofs without license attribution and shady all around.
