their group is the one who released the "ETH largement pill" for cards with gddr5x...they know how to utilize gddr5x gpu rams......1080ti's here we go again! hehe
I spoke to the Dev of progpow and I love their approach. It's not about ASIC resistance but closing the loopholes that make ASICS faster and more efficient. The proposal was posted on the ETH GitHub and I strongly suspect that people were bought by ASIC manufacturers, just read the comments... It's sad. However they have a working algo and miner so anyone could fork and start using it. Unfortunately x16r is not exactly ASIC resistant either, there is a whole list of projected ASIC speed gains over GPUs and yes, we are screwed with the current algos. As much as I don't like ethash I gotta admit it was still the most ASIC resistant algo. (Only 2x gain on ASIC)
Hash rates with progpow:
RX580 | 9.4 | | Vega56 | 16.6 | | Vega64 | 18.7 | | GTX1070Ti | 13.1 | | GTX1080 | 14.9 | | GTX1080Ti | 21.8 |
There is hope for the resistance!
