So guys, is there any news regwrding the pow algo characteristics? Will it be cpu, vga or asic territory?
It've been stated that spreadx11 won't be used, do you confirm?
Thanks

We have not decided upon a hash yet, that is coming along. In terms of mining, we are looking into the possibility of creating our own ASIC's to support the network, so we are likely to be CPU / GPU / ASIC friendly.
My advice would be to pick a GPU friendly algorithm (NIST5 or something) and let the free market take care of developing the ASICs once it is economically viable. An army of GPUs is sustaining the network of ETH and it's 4.5 billion USD marketcap. There are plenty of hashes to go around to support HLM's network.
Worrying about designing custom ASICs is putting the cart before the horse. Focus on improving the core protocol and implementing new technology first. If HLM can break (and sustain) a 100 million USD+ marketcap, then worry about ASICs.
I missed the AMA unfortunately. Gonna read through it and give you guys my thoughts on anything that was said (whether you like it or not!
) sometime in the next few days.
