Maybe someone could answer this one for me. Is Darkcoin ASIC resistant? And how does it compare to Vertcoins Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor? I am actually a DRK supporter I just want to understand how script ASICS could affect the coin and how it compares to Vertcoin in this regard. Thank you.
Darkcoin's asic resistance is mainly do to the quantity of different algorithms that need to be implemented. asics could be made, however it's just a lot more work than making them for a single-algorithm coin. Adaptive-nfactor is much more effective asic resistance, as the memory requirements increase over time, so even if asics were to be made they would be rendered useless over time.I think it isn't as ideal as it sounds for adaptive-nfactor. I mean if someone equips an ASIC board with, say, multiple times the RAM that current GPUs have, they can have a significant advantage in raping the coin. If the coin "adapts" to a higher memory requirement, then it'll lock out the current GPUs that most ordinary miners use - furthering the ASIC advantage of the whale who is already ahead of the GPUs. Am I missing something?
