I am asking more as a perspective investor to the coin and was hoping someone familiar with it could answer. From what I can see, it has a proof of work that is quite different and extremely low power (lower than X11) - a quote from the ANN page (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-hvc-heavycoin-ultra-secure-decentralized-block-reward-voting-fast-506774):
ASIC-resistant: Introduces HEFTY1, a novel approach to ASIC-resistant proof-of-work
Ultra-secure: combines SHA-256, Keccak-512, Grøestl-512, BLAKE-512 in a secure way .
I'm hoping someone can provide some additional insight.
