it is interesting even just for the sake of environmental argument (and believe me when I enter my mining facilities I do understand the irony in your conclusion section -- unfortunately). Of course I see a big disadvantage in RCO-POW being non ASIC resistant. But wouldn't that RCO-ASIC be in fact a Reverse Computer device by itself? Also how the RCO-POW will perform on non optimized CPU/GPU hardware in terms of hit/energy? Sorry if my questions are obvious I am not a scientist may be missed it in your paper.
