Mining algorithm: ISCO (adaptive algorithm inspired by Monero, Scrypt and ProgPow)
CPU-only or not: No, hybrid (adaptive CPU + GPU)
Brief description: The project positions itself as “blockchain banking” for financing scientific research. The main feature is the ISCO engine, which automatically adjusts to the available hardware (CPU or GPU) for maximum efficiency.
Where to mine/pool: Pools and solo mining are available; nodes mentioned in regions: EU, US, Asia and HK (Hong Kong).
Community reaction: A conflict is observed: users accuse the project of hidden Monero mining due to closed‑source code, to which developers respond that the code will become open on the 45th day of the project.

Main topic of new messages: Developers report a spontaneous “mutation” of the ISCO algorithm, which led to a significant acceleration of block generation.
Key news/updates:
Block finding time reduced from ~20 seconds to 10 seconds (2× speedup).
Due to faster blocks, current mining profitability (effective hash rate) has effectively doubled.
The algorithm mutation process is unpredictable: it can last from several hours to a day.
New miner version v1.0.2 released.
Developers emphasize that the closed nature of the code allows the algorithm to change its variables spontaneously.
Issues/complaints: None found.
Overall tone: Positive (emphasis on increased mining profitability).
