A hybrid system sounds reasonable, but I'm more interested in how they think that Dagger is ASIC-proof. I can't tell without a real description of the algorithm

A hybrid system sounds reasonable, but I'm more interested in how they think that Dagger is ASIC-proof. I can't tell without a real description of the algorithm, but what is presented doesn't seem hard to parallelize.
- rdn 13y agoSomeone pointed that out to them, https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2014/01/17/ethereum-dagger-pow-is-flawed/ https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2014/01/17/ethereum-dagger-pow... And now they've stated, "We have made a preliminary decision that we likely will fund a contest, similar to that used to develop AES and SHA3, to determine the best ASIC-proof (ie. going beyond just "memory hard" as a heuristic) mining algorithm" http://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/1vh94e/dagger_updates/ http://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/1vh94e/dagger_upda...
