Why MediterraneanCoin was developed?

HybridScryptHash256 integrates the best of Hash256 and Scrypt algorithms (respectively the core Proof of Work algorithms of Bitcoins and Litecoins), allowing the reuse of the less powerful ASIC Block Erupter devices.

The idea is to allow all the users of erupters and similar small ASIC devices to mine an altcoin without having "whales" coming and disrupt mining.

With HybridScryptHash256, each Hash256 mining iteration with an erupter is encapsulated between two Scrypt stages (a memory intensive algorithm whose parameters depend on the current difficulty).

In this way, a good amount of CPU power (or maybe even GPU power) is necessary for each Hash256 dedicated hardware.

If a miner owns a lot of Hash256 computing power, in order to mine Mediterraneancoins, he will need also a corresponding CPU power.

If the correspondent CPU power is not available, then the Hash256 compunting power is automatically limited.
