How is
this ASIC-proof?
Gradual increase of ram usage per thread to find blocks...
scrypt-jane is known to be 100% asic resistant, unless until BTL becomes so profitable to mine that making an asic is worth the effort xD
There is no such thing as asic-resistant. Deterring maybe , resistant , no way.
Pretty much the same thing...making asics costs money, using gddr5 VRAM chips costs a lot of money, and the bulk of it is reserved by nvidia and amd. Cost is prohibitive, you can't risk making an asic for a coin that might fail. We are getting scrypt asics after a loooooong time now, but we wouldn't have them if the amout of ram used in the scratchpad changed over time, wouldn't give the manufacturers time to bank on it.
