Neoscrypt launching 2nd July?

Bushstar

Nope. They are not getting NeoScrypt on the 2nd.

and this is from Bitcointalk UFO thread:

Expect a Hard fork at height 160,997 / 2nd July 2014 with the following enhancements:

Niteâ€™s Gravity Well - This allows for rapid response to hash rate changes and recovery from high difficulty

Time Warp Manipulability - Will be reduced to the point where its effect is negligible

Automatic Checkpointing - This vital feature for any coin prevents transaction roll back via 51% attacks.

New algorithm - Improved version of Scrypt that is 30% more energy efficient and ASIC resistant in the long run.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=658117

I have now changed that. Someone in UFO said that they has added images to the original thread and got me to repost it. I took their word that they had not changed the text when in fact that had added the bit above. I could believe that they were just reorganising information if they had not added the bit about 30% more energy efficiency which is completely made up.

I am a very unhappy about this right now and feel an idiot for not checking it through. I only scrolled down to see that images were added. Now this false information has come from my mouth!

Land of confusion… I think it’s an innocent misunderstanding… because it’s impossible to lie if the coin sources are public.

At least all is crysral clear now and aligned with official Neoscrypt development thread.

oh dear… im glad this is all cleared up but the 30% issue may come back and bite us.

It sounds great if its accurate but I cant see how anyone could know this apart from Bush and Ghostlander.

kris_davison

Hmm this is just weird

I think this needs to be updated aswell??

ghostlander

I guess they have to postpone their hard fork. By the way, even me not sure how energy efficient NeoScrypt is. It consumes less memory than Scrypt, but utilises it to a much higher extent and regular tricks like pre-hashing don’t work any more.

kris_davison

I guess we are not going to know this until we have done some testing on duplicate hardware.

I guess they could still do the hard fork but without neoscrypt?

lizhi

Please cut off all contact with them.

mirrax

This situation was already explained by Bush, it was a mistake.

They will have hard fork but without Neoscrypt now.

No need to continue this discussion.
