Zcash is base on a lie…and they try to hide it with ridiculous posts.
In 2 days BTG will change parameter to <144,5>
And that parameters were actually build for Zcash and curent <200,9> that Zcash is using and that heavily favor ASIC were just for testing…they are totally non memory intensive and use only 144 mb off RAM …and Z9 use ancient SDRAM .
But Zcash even promised in initial posts (by same Zoco that now promotes ASICs) never changed parameters and left this one that heavily favor ASIC .
<144,5> would require 2.7 gb off latest probably DDR5 memory per chip and not like now just 144 mb off probably used SDRAM from 15 years ago and ASIC would be on pair with GPUs when it comes to efficiency.
