So Far : The Plan

(1/1)

BtcBob:
Change Algorithm to: Argon2
Keep Block Time @: 2 Minutes
Change Block Reward to: 100/block
Change Coin Supply to: 210,000,000

Rummage around in the forum to see why and feel free to retort.
Not a lot of time to hang out, so please leave your thoughts after the beep.

BEEP

Canʻt halfstep the tenfolding...  Itʻs 210,000,000...

I aim to have working testnet up for CPU mining testing by Sunday.  X-Day is not far away....

Scratching my head for well over an hour trying to figure out what you meant.. 
Dyslexic TYPO - Yea. 210,000,000

Ok, so CPU mining..  Obviously in SCRYPT mining, the most hash gets the best result.
How's CPU mining affected?   Bad ASS CPU's get more blocks?

x_slacks:
More power does essentially mean more coin.  Unless youʻre using power inefficiently.  Power is kind of what mining all revolves around, and miners generally strive for the most hashes with the least amount of power usage.  The Argon2 developers basically aimed to make it ineffecient for gpu and asics to process their algorithm, by optimizing it for cpu.  For asics, the big thing is memory cost.  You can pack a really efficient implementation into little area, but when you need a significant amount of RAM to process each thread, that drives the cost of fabrication way up.  They use the term die area.  Basically you can use Argon2d to dictate how much gold they have to sputter on their boards to defeat you.  And does it really provide a cost benefit in the end?
