Re: [ANN] Expanse (EXP) - 1st Stable fork of Ethereum (New Algo + PirlGuard)

I had discovered about ProgPow algorithm change to make harder to use ASICs to mine Ethereum.
I wonder if it will be any equivalent steps made by Expanse?

Yes we are working on Frankomoto, there is a bounty for anyone trying to help us.

Thanks for your answer,
I though it will be just one-to-one ProgPow changed for Expanse but it looks quite interesting - so after that Ethereum and Expanse mining algorithm will be different? Won't it hurt mining availability? now it is ease to switch from ETH to Expanse; some people has Expanse mining set as failover etc.

Why did you go with a custom algo and not another existing like progpow or ubiqhash?
