From:
http://www.reddit.com/r/maxcoinproject/comments/1x6k1z/maxcoin_specifications_important/"we are going to implement an "ASIC protection" feature into MaxCoin. This will work by allowing the blockchain to decide a new hashing algorithm for MaxCoin every x blocks. "
"It's also worth noting that any GPU miner created will not work after the first algorithm switch takes place."
If i understand this correctly, they are trying to prevent (hold back, make it difficult) to GPU mine this coin?
