What do people know about the
Cuckoo Cycle by John Tromp? I recently read about it in an Alt ANN, but hadn't heard about it before.
Memory bound; graph-theory.
Does anyone have any experience mining with it? The concept of being memory bound seems similar to Equihash, but a bit different in its implementation.
claims to be asic friendly so it is worthless.
Sounds harsh but we don't need asic friendly coins or algos.
If all the world is a perfect super highway (asics) what good is it without cars too drive on it?(gpus)
Now does this mean I hate asics no I don't.
It does mean we need
Fpga coins
GPU coins
CPU coins
Wait, it's memory-bound, so wouldn't that mean that it would be very FPGA friendly? I think that's what the statement sort of means on the github page, though I could be wrong. It's ultimately bound by Memory Bandwidth... so it should be the super FPGA algo.
