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.
