Memory bound hashing is very good suggestion: https://github.com/tromp/cuckoo

Is that really any better?

High end GPUs (still costing the same as a CPU) run it 5x quicker and that amount is forever going to diverge. So again its not 1 CPU 1 vote, its 1 CPU and back to the 6 GPUs on ribbon risers and 31 votes. Then you have the problems that RAM isn't an infallible resource - PCI-E based SSDs are getting closer and closer to RAM but with 100x the capacity. I am aware even commercial 4x PCI-E SSDs have 250-500x higher latency than core RAM but what could we do if that was the actual objective? It won't take long for a Spondoolies-Tech V2 to work out a Cuckoo42 ASIC.

Edit:
Seems like you're more concerned with getting the previous pages of discussion buried, I don't think you believe what you're posting. Are the investors calling?

So,
My estimation is that Core team will split. Some will continue to work on Core but on Classic chain, buy some will prefer to do PoW (and Transaction ID) change rather to submit to the new governance.

Guy

Edit: Interesting times. I think that two competing Chains is the favorable outcome. Each will be entitled to the name "Bitcoin" since both came into existence after hard-fork.

are you kidding? favorable to what? maybe to development in some sense, but not bitcoin's value.
Imagine the nightmare of having an "old" bitcoin in a wallet and then deciding on what chain to spend it and have change deposited to.
90% of people will simply sell or do NO transactions altogether and wait until one chain would be dominant.
In addition, say, i decided to sell carbonated sugar syrup and call it "Coca Cola next generation".
Do you think that I would be able to do it?

Can it be Core and Classic instead of Core vs Classic ?

My discussion with Jonathan Toomim in "Miner In World" WeChat group.

http://pastebin.com/B8YQr5TQ

I'm working on a proposal for a rotating PoW changes to allow Core to survive Classic activation and bring an era of endless GPU mining to Core.

Please take the time to read it and comment.

Guy

I think the problem you are trying to solve isn't real.
I think Core and Classic will converge to friendly competition, and be on the same blockchain. There will not be an actual work between these two groups.
My 2 cents.

Someone from Avalon tried that a few years ago....didn't work out too well for him Cheesy

Changing the PoW function is pretty crazy.

It may be. The state of Bitcoin mining is also pretty crazy.

The state of Bitcoin ~~mining~~ is also pretty crazy.

Who the fuck is this classic?

I thought this was the thread of a asic manufacturer....

Where is my last generation SP-tech asic?! i want it in my watercooled miner...

Luke may create his Keccak hash function fork; he already has the code. But it's not going to be called Core.

You keep referring to it as a threat. I believe that the remaining devs in Core will do it.
We went through it in our chat yesterday. You agreed on 75% chance that it will happen.

So if they will do it, I think that they should do it in a way which will prevent ASIC-ization.

And you will be there to give new governance to it? He wants to start a central committee of hash and for him to be part of it. He does this out of his company falling apart. They went from giving huge bonus to all top level employees to being beat by Bitfury where no one with big orders will want a SP50.

He is trying to find way to stay relevant. This is one attempt at it. He will not be able to do it.

Seems like a pointless personal attack by you (even as I agree the committee is a dumb idea). The proposal from him I saw was for the term on the committee to be limited so even if he were on it, he wouldn't be on it for long. So what?

So a company that lost in the asic race wants to start a new way of profit via committee. Spondoolies is growing unprofitable look at the data, they have to release after being public.

If they won the asic race they would not be pushing for this. The SP50 sealed the deal on them going away, unless they can pull something like this. Have you read their company stats?

How they going to profit from this? Competing with AMD or NVIDIA on GPUs?

It's about trying to get all companies on same level. Do you not see he pushes from asics after losing on development?

Mining on Bitcoin will not go back to GPU's its a attempt to go to something other then asic which they are losing at. They want to be on same level as bitfury, so change the protocol since cant match chips.

They never had a problem when they were ontop and making tons. Only after they were beat in the asic development do they want to change protocol. I will not waste more time on Guy. Time to get back to work.

How is Guy going to make money from this? Be specific.
