So, let's do it..

Everyone that reads this thread, should put his rig on it (if he's mining something else atm, like I was) and get another person to do it also, very simple..



Scrypt-N was killing me on my electric bill once the weather got warm, so it was either shut my rig down or switch to an X11/X13 coin. I really wish Execoin's developers would consider switching algorithms. Scrypt-N is finicky to optimize, uses almost as much power as Scrypt and there's the negative psychological aspect of seeing your hashrate so low (yes, I understand everyone's is equally low, so mining is still fair).



Changing the POW algorithm should generate some new miner interest in Execoin.

I think if someone would draw a picture like they use to explain other anon systems it would help bring attention to us . but at least a couple words explaining the anon



It is not anonymous at the moment despite what is written in the title. Although the dev said he will integrate Stealth Addresses in the future. This will increase privacy, but will not render it anonymous (anonymity is much more difficult to achieve, anoncoin running through I2P or zerocash running through Tor will offer a much more complete anonymous network).



Stealth addresses will be nice addition to make EXE a good coin for shops imho. Because by using them the shops will keep their privacy and no one will be able to know how much EXE their account received. It is no business for any payors to know how much goods the shops solds. With bitcoin you have to reuse new addresses to hide amount you received, and those can be linked through the blockchain hence privacy is low. With a stealth address the privacy is garanteed and this is a good thing IMHO. Hence I am happy the dev want to implement this interesting feature.

Quote The primary benefit, the paper says, is that payors would not learn of other payments made to stealth addresses, while third-parties would not glean any information from the transaction at all. More info :



IMHO the dev should remove "anonymous" from the topic and replace it with "private" and "Stealth addresses" when he will have implemented "Stealth address". No need to try to catch the current pseudo-anonymous scam coins ala DRK, XC, XLB and others. IMHO this is not good to mislabel a result of a technology to make it looks like another one, especially when Stealth addresses in themselves are an excellent technology which has its niche market, as a normal shopping feature for clearnet (not much shop owners would like their customers to watch their bank accounts, would they?). In contrast to several people posting above, I do not think Stealth addresses is something for darkmarket at all, it is totally of no use for darkmarkets.



Do it, dev! Let's implement them! It is not anonymous at the moment despite what is written in the title. Although the dev said he will integrate Stealth Addresses in the future.

Some opinions please. I currently have 2 Sapphire Dual-X R9 280x cards that I right now arranging to be send back to Amazon due to failing cards on 2 of the original 3 I bought, so I'm now going to be needing some new cards. I've been mining Execoin for weeks, months even now cos I like the idea and the Devs seem to be involved etc.



Suggestions on good mining cards... especially for cards that don't have failing cooling fans in less than 6 months use. I think I'm only getting 2 this time as trying to put 3 in a HAF-XB case meant they ran at 70+ and an 80+ temp. I guess I'm looking at 280x cards maybe 290x depending on monies, I still haven't paid for my rig since prices crashed with the bitcoin price fall in recent month so I'm not over joyed with the prospect of paying out a lot more



Thoughts?
