    Narubu, thanks for great into.
    I’m also in the throws of altering that version of Litecoin, and it’s running but not mining yet.
    Are you building on Linux or Windows?
    Have you considered looking at launching a block explorer or a pool on your own?
    Will be comparing notes for sure.

    Bam, I read that NIST5 is a collection of the five top submissions to the NIST competition for a strong password hashing function, that ended in 2012. Included was a popular Blake function, but it was won by Keccak
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIST_hash_function_competition#Finalists

    X11, X13, etc. PoW functions are a collection of 11 or more hashing functions used one after another. Some of the NIST5 ones are among them, I think. Bam, would you like to take a look and tell us how they stack-up?

    BTW, a more recent competition has a different and more advanced set of five contenders and was won by Argon2 https://password-hashing.net/
    The Argon2 major contributors also are behind the Zcash Equihash function.
    Wonder if any of these five had already or will make their way into the Altcoin world.
