Why this coin uses equihash as PoW algorithm? Why doesn't it use others such as Lyra2, scrypt, SHA256, X11, etc? I am mainly interested in the technical reasons behind this choice. I know there are aspects of asic mining, but maybe there are more reasons...
This is a clone of ZCash minus any upgrades/updates/dev fee. ZCash uses equihash as PoW algorithm, and as this thing is a clone of it, it uses the same equihash as proof-of-work algorithm.
ZClassic is a fork of outdated ZCash and since the first day of its birth, it hardly got any good upgrade/update.
