Idea from roarde regarding grouping aux-pow into a single 1/5th share:

This might be achieved by changing their block time in:

I think grouping the aux-pow algos to 1/5th share and adding a new non-asic algo is great idea.

Good read on Equihash pointed out by MaxDZ8

On reducing the share of auxpow: If this ends up purposely allotting a greater than 20% share to any other algos, it's probably not a good idea. That would be contrary to the motivation for having multiple algorithms in the first place.

Put another way, let's not clear block space that we can't fill with good new algos.

Algoswap2, MIP4, has been merged in #132, argon2d4096 added and skein removed using BIP9 bit 6.
