Great job with TeamRedMiner!  I found your miner on a list of Etchash supported miners, great job supporting the new Ethash variant.

I was wondering if you had any interest in adding support for Ubqhash?

Here's some of the technicals to help explain the algo changes more in depth:  https://blog.ubiqsmart.com/introducing-ubqhash-8fa515befd7

Ubiq has quite a large community of miners, but the current number of mining programs is somewhat limited.  I'm reaching out on behalf of the Ubiq community to see if you're interested in potentially adding Ubqhash support, thanks!

Hi weifa! Well, if it's only keccak -> blake in the dag cache build that differs it's quite simple. Our TODO list just keeps on growing though so I won't make any promises, but hopefully we'll find some time in the not-too-distant future.
Hey kearney thanks for your reply!  Yes I believe Ubqhash does involve switching over the keccak -> blake as you said.  One thing to mention is I believe the hard fork from Ethash to Ubqhash occurred at block 660,000 (epoch 22).  I hear you on the TODO list, no rush on our front.  If you get a chance in the future to add support I'm happy to help try it out on some of my miners, cheers!
