I thought I would post this bounty here in case anyone is interested:
If someone releases the code for a hardfork to replace Myriad’s Skein PoW, and it activates, they can claim 1,500,000XMY, which today is worth about $6000.
In order to be successful, a developer should probably make a post on /r/myriadcoin and get feedback from the community on their plans. Equihash or Cuckoo Cycle would likely be popular choices.
