Scrypt: C++ [10] PoW: One of the first cryptocurrencies to use scrypt as a hashing algorithm. 2011 Namecoin: NMC Vincent Durham [11] [12] SHA-256d: C++ [13] PoW: Also acts as an alternative, decentralized DNS. 2012 Peercoin: PPC Sunny King (pseudonym) [citation needed] SHA-256d [citation needed] C++ [14] PoW & PoS: The first cryptocurrency to ...
Thus there is a significant trade-off in speed to get rid of the large memory requirements. This sort of time–memory trade-off often exists in computer algorithms: speed can be increased at the cost of using more memory, or memory requirements decreased at the cost of performing more operations and taking longer. The idea behind scrypt is to ...
Litecoin was a source code fork of the Bitcoin Core client, originally differing by having a decreased block generation time (2.5 minutes), increased maximum number of coins, different hashing algorithm (scrypt, instead of SHA-256), faster difficulty retarget, and a slightly modified GUI. [citation needed]
Dogecoin was officially launched on December 6, 2013, and within the first 30 days, there were over 1 million visitors to Dogecoin.com. [13] Palmer is credited with making the idea a reality. At the time, he was a member of the Adobe marketing department in Sydney , Australia, while Markus was a senior software engineer at IBM in Portland ...
The proposed algorithm makes iterations over a large list. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] For every factor of 1 q {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{q}}} fewer entries per list, computational complexity of the algorithm scales proportional to q k 2 {\displaystyle q^{\frac {k}{2}}} for memory-efficient implementations.
In 2009, a memory-intensive key strengthening algorithm, scrypt, was introduced with the intention of limiting the use of custom, highly parallel hardware to speed up key testing. [ 12 ] In 2013, a Password Hashing Competition was held to select an improved key stretching standard that would resist attacks from graphics processors and special ...

[1] [2] It is an altcoin and in its early days it was subject to pump and dump speculation. [3] It was rebranded as Darkcoin, [4] which received press for being used in dark net markets. [5] In March 2015, it rebranded again with the name Dash as a portmanteau of 'digital cash'. [3] As of August 2016, Dash is no longer used in any major dark ...
