Looks interesting, seems to be honest.
I started to mine the coin yesterday with lazy cpus of my gpu miners.
Algorithm is NOT ASIC RESISTANT. OW1 ASIC can be reprogrammed to target this algorithm, GPU and FPGA miner is very feasible
Regarding mining, this is the weakest point in it.

If the coin grows, it will become attractive for FPGAs at some point.
But - as I read about the 51% attack resistance feature in the papers - doesn't it mean the excess hashpower would be distributed among weaker (CPU) miners...?
Don't know if I get it right.

Mining algo did not change since the inception of HAC (2018)... are the devs who took over planning some hard forks to persist ASIC(GPU, FPGA) resistance, like XMR many times did?

Overall, I'm pretty curious where this thing will be in a year or two :-)
