Title: Development thread: Asic Protection for new currencies
Post by: spacegoat on April 07, 2013, 08:06:31 AM
hi I would like to open up a discussion for the benefit of all alternative currencies.  TRC, BYTECOIN, and so on and so forth which have an inherent risk of some random ASIC crushing their system for hours at a time.

TRC could be a decent alternative currency if it had protection from asic 51% attacks.

so any ideas on how to make this possible, bounties for effective innovations, etc are welcome on this thread :)

Another scrypt currency?  Or maybe a different hashing algorithm that isn't currently used.
