C11 and ASIC miners #74

Closed lorexodus closed 7 years ago

lorexodus commented 7 years ago

It's come to my attention that using ASIC miners on the C11 algo is being looked into by several people (modding the X11 miners for example).

With this in mind I was wondering if it might be worth looking into changing the algo or switching to another one (X17 for example) in order to keep the algo ASIC-resistant for the foreseeable future and with this preventing the hashing from becoming centralized.

This will prevent CHC from having to deal with the kind of hierarchically enforced disruptions and manipulations that Bitcoin for example has had to deal with recently.
