when will you release this?

Would like to know also, any rough eta? This year?

I read the white paper, there is mentioned about iteration of hash.

1. I think the hash shouldnt be iterated at 500k times, just let it plain 1 iteration, because when somebody figure out how to trick it with getpassediteration() function then he/she might get 50 times faster miner. Just learn from B*R how someone got 100x faster miner by passed the iteration. By letting it without iteration anyone will have same opportunity with maximum hash depending on hardware configuration.

2. If this project's target to make coin asic-proof then the scratchpad should be no less than 2MB but bigger scratchpad would be great to stay away from asic development. Because we know all hashfunction can be asic-fied.

CMIIW.

I didnt mean literally there is a "getpassediteration()" function, but the optimization is out there where people try to make asic, by evident to what has happened to the hashrate of B*R in the beginning i remembered, and deduction method of thinking, i believe someone has optimized this iteration.

So if the hash is already optimized without iteration, someone try to optimized it will be futile or just get little faster hash.

It is the POW sir. 500k iteration and lower scratxhpad to 1MB. If the iteration down to 1 what will happened to the hashrate? Higher or lower?

Any known hashfunction is fine, just make sure it already well optimized imho, if possible even when the asic of the hashfunction will be made there are no room or just little room to crank up performance.

What about the scratchpad? Still use it or not?

Nope, for PoW we use common approach with usual hash function.

So to confirm, this will no longer be a cryptonight PoS coin?

Looking fwd for this project, so excited!
