Updated Exchange Qualifications

I have changed the exchange qualifier a few times over the last few months. The current version still leaves stagnant coins on the list for far too long. I am making it so that a coin must be on an exchange within 30 days. It is easy to get on the minor exchanges and if a coin cannot manage that, it is already dead. In addition to that, a coin must still be add to a major exchange within 60 days.

These rule changes will immediately affect several coins. Additionally, I need to go back and check all coins because some may have been de-listed from exchanges.

YACoin Is Back and Moneta Verde Joins

YACoin comes back from the Eliminated Coins because changes on difficulty make the GPU miner less effective.

Moneta Verde is the newest CryptoNote coin to come on list. It is different because as the difficulty increases, the reward decreases. It also offers merged mining with other CryptoNight algorithm coins.

X11 Algorithm GPU Advantage Recalculated

I have been aware of patched X11 GPU miners and decided to revisit the X11 algorithm  calculations. The patched miner provided noticeable gains. However, since PHM has stopped sph-sgminer development, the folks over at NiceHash.com sponsored development of something that suites their needs. Their sgminer v5 makes huge improvements on X11 (probably others).

NEW GPU Advantage Calcs
AMD FX-8320 using Elmad’s CPU-Miner v(1.3) = 458kh/s
R9 280x (average from here) = 4.2mh/s
Advantage = 9.2
