What is Myriad?



Myriad is the first Multi-Algo coin. Correct implementation of Multi-Algo leads to

higher security and prevents centralisation of mining power.



The algorithms of Myriad have been selected to allow securing the blockchain with

a diverse set of hardware. We embrace ASICs, GPUs and CPUs.



Decentralisation of mining power is important to keep control of a coin democratic.

Other coins have had their mining power become more and more centralised which

have already caused problems for bitcoin. The prevention of this is one of Myriads

main strengths and innovations.



Myriad is also utilizing merged mining (AuxPOW) for Scrypt and SHA256D, which

means miners of Bitcoin and Litecoin can help secure Myriads blockchain with no

extra cost for them or for Myriad. Myriad gains tremendous in security from this.



A further measure have also been taken to secure the coin. A single algo can only

mine six consecutive blocks. This together with an advanced difficulty calculation

prevents the so called time warp attacks.



All of this means that Myriads Multi-Algo POW is more secure than other coins and

offers exceptional 51% resistance.





Who Controls Myriad?



Myriad is much like Bitcoin a community driven project full of volunteers. We have

coders, designers and other professionals helping out. But we also have a bunch of

regular people that help out in any way they can and are an active and valuable

part of the Myriad community.





What about large changes to Myriad Core, who decides?



For large changes in Core we use what is called mining consensus. For Myriad this

principle actually works because of Myriads decentralised mining. In 2016 we

successfully replaced the Qubit algo in favor of Yescrypt using mining consensus.

And in 2019 we successfully replaced Skein with Argon2D also using mining consensus.





Why Myriad?



In short: Myriad have a proven track record. It was released in 2014 and

have stood the test of time and have adapted when needed.
