OMG that IBM Magic smoke container looks amazing!
Yeah, that was from a bygone era at IBM, when they actually made hardware and seemed as indomitable as, say, Google or Amazon are today...
I'm currently working on the way to block asic, the most efficient and easier to maintain. Feel free to send me every documentation, other forks, asic doc... I need to be feeded.
The only viable solution is to use whatever Monero is going to use. Nobody will write mining software particularly for IRD if we are going to use our own modification of CryptoNight, i.e. one which is different from what Monero will use.
Once again I completely agree - either follow what Monero does or else choose another, existing, algo entirely. Needless to say, following Monero will be a lot less work.
Does anyone have an overview over what the most popular coins plan to do, i.e. who is going to fork and to which algo and who will stay with the current non-ASIC-proof CryptoNight?
I have an incomplete list compiled from other threads:
Stated will fork to block ASICs: XMR, ETN, GRFT, IPBC, XTL, EDL, TRTL, XUN, DERO and now, IRD
Taking the "wait and see" approach: ITNS
DERO could also be put into the "wait and see" category, but the impression I get is they are waiting to see what XMR does, rather than waiting to see what ASICs do to them (though the latter is inevitable if doing the former).
