Privacy-Centric Zcoin Creates Next-Generation ASIC-Resistant MTP Algorithm

Zcoin is announcing the public release of the first working implementation of Merkle Tree Proof (MTP) as a proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm. According to the Zcoin team, this will promote high performance, faster lightweight verification for a fairer mining process (including CPUs), high security, and egalitarian computing.The new ASIC-resistant algorithm was built from scratch by Zcoin, based on the 2016 paper “Egalitarian Computing.” by Alex Biryukov and Dmitry Khovratovich from the U
