"Algorithm: 4 rounds of hashing from fugue -> shavite -> hamsi -> panama (ASIC resistent!)"A mish-mash of science algo appraoch. Thats a FAIL.
Energy efficiency means little if difficulty increases proportionally to energy efficiency (i.e. status quo)
The key feature of Groestlcoin is its good performance on a wide range of platforms and reduced ASIC advantages the algo contains. This is in part dure to the Grøstl algo's resistance to parallelization.Mish-mash science PoW's wont work similarly well on different platforms.
Would have done better to clone Groestl :p
Simply put Groestl is the most democratic PoW for crypto mining
