I'm currently working on the way to block asic, the most efficient and easier to maintain. Feel free to send me every documentation, other forks, asic doc... I need to be feeded.
The only viable solution is to use whatever Monero is going to use. Nobody will write mining software particularly for IRD if we are going to use our own modification of CryptoNight, i.e. one which is different from what Monero will use.
All other serious CN coins will go with whatever XMR goes as algo. At least that's how I understand the situation, but I really didn't read much about it.
Does anyone have an overview over what the most popular coins plan to do, i.e. who is going to fork and to which algo and who will stay with the current non-ASIC-proof CryptoNight?
This is our through too, but this doesn't seems to go fast : No decision about technical implementation yet on the monero's side. I'm currently digging into the cryptonight algorithm to try to understand it deeply, as I have some simple idea to tweak the algo, I do not know if it is feasible and even less if mining programs can be adapted. Again everybody : any informations about this subject is interresting for me : I need to be feeded :-)
