Hello everyone!
Unbelievable, in this coin authors converted ASIC "resistant" algorithm x16r to ASIC-friendly algorithm x16s !

Can you provide a link to this info somewhere? Thanks.

It is easy to fit 16 algs into silicon and just switch datapath between them, but it is difficult to fit multiple copies of each of 16 algorithms.

lol...

Good luck finding an Asic that can actually mine more than 1 Algo at the same time.

Pigeon is as Raven, Asic-RESISTANT.

Make your own research.

I suppose ASIC developers use exactly this approach. Each algo-block in chain calculates hash in parallel when pass result to next block synchronously.
