It's kind of moot with asics for equihash and ethash. Unless there's some other large mem algo I'm not aware of.

There is.

Not aiming to be argumentative because I never studied it deeply, but wasn’t there a strong analysis done that showed a large GPU optimization (and by extension FPGA/asic) for your cuckoo algorithm existed? I never saw a response from you on that.

The Cuckoo Cycle webpage lists several performance claims. Which of the claims does the strong analysis refute? And why haven't you claimed the corresponding large bounty?

It wasn’t my analysis. I’ll try to dig it back up, I have no personal involvement or basis for believing it, other than it comes up every time someone asks about using Cuckoo as an ASIC resistant algorithm for a crypto. I’ve assumed it convinced others and that’s why I continue to be unaware of any large coins using cuckoo. It could also be general distrust of newer (relatively speaking) algorithms that haven’t been thoroughly studied. Regardless I’d love to get the explaination of the flaw in the argument.
