There are coins that are ASIC "resistant" but most of them are just too small a market for any ASIC maker to bother with. Right now, the hot non-ASIC coins seem to be Zcash and Ethereum.

Right now, the hot non-ASIC coins seem to be Zcash and Ethereum. i would say asic deterrent instead of resistant, the only reason why many coins do not have asic yet, it's because of their non-existing marketcap... it's all about if it is convenient for the asic industry or not Title: Re: ASIC immune coins ?

I'm still a bit supprised at the *multiple* X11 designs that showed up this year. |
