So, there was a change in the algorithm to stable to the asiks or not? Or are developers interested in the work of the asics?

Yes it coming up around friday 16th this month. You can find all information on discord channel for GRLC

Heres a qoute from the devs:

"After days of mulling over what algorithm to pick, we still had arguing between one or the other, increasing the N factor or Lyra2REv2. If we picked increasing the N factor, it would slow down the ASICs but they would still be an issue, plus it would adversely affect lower tier graphics cards. If we went with Lyra2REv2 we would become a target of NiceHash which would mean Garlicoin would become a haven for pump and dump schemes.

Being a community coin we wanted none of that, so we decided to explore developing our own algorithm. Nothing too complex, simply pipelining two different algorithms together. That way ASICs would be left in the dust and NiceHash wouldn't be able to support us. The algorithm that we got working just an hour ago (with CPUminer and CCminer support so far) is simply a chain of blake2s -> lyra2REv2. We call this new algorithm Allium. You can inspect the changes yourself in the following repos:"
