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.
I am mining it right now. Merit uses it, and as far as I know its the only coin on a mainnet using it. Aeternity is probably the closest to launching their mainnet (around November). Then there is Raddi, Veres One, and Grin (this last one confuses me). As for mining, it is still in its infancy. For the best performance CPU resources are needed. So using 8 GPUs with with a celeron will bottleneck performance. John has paid out some rather large bounties for developers to demonstrate (and make open source) higher mining performance. I could easily see Merit becoming a sort of paypal or Venmo for the crypto space. The invite system right now is a little goofy, but really no different than the way services like gmail started.
