Change the proof of work algorithm
As discussed here: https://mastodon.xyz/web/statuses/99174770035035196
It seems that the current PoW chain (SHA256(Ed25519_sign(SHA256("InnerHash:...Nonce: <nonce>")))
) is still ASIC compliant, in that an ASIC could still handle this computation.
@aeris suggests to either use ARGON2 or scrypt currently, because these functions introduce a tradeoff between CPU and memory.
I'm not an expert, so I can just believe this assertion right now.
Anyway, as long as the number of ASIC powered member nodes is low compared to the number of non-ASIC powered member nodes, it won't be a big problem. But it would still be annoying, even more later if Ğ1 growth.
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
