Thus there is a significant trade-off in speed to get rid of the large memory requirements. This sort of time–memory trade-off often exists in computer algorithms: speed can be increased at the cost of using more memory, or memory requirements decreased at the cost of performing more operations and taking longer. The idea behind scrypt is to ...
Scrypt: C++ [10] PoW: One of the first cryptocurrencies to use scrypt as a hashing algorithm. 2011 Namecoin: NMC Vincent Durham [11] [12] SHA-256d: C++ [13] PoW: Also acts as an alternative, decentralized DNS. 2012 Peercoin: PPC Sunny King (pseudonym) [citation needed] SHA-256d [citation needed] C++ [14] PoW & PoS: The first cryptocurrency to ...
Litecoin was a source code fork of the Bitcoin Core client, originally differing by having a decreased block generation time (2.5 minutes), increased maximum number of coins, different hashing algorithm (scrypt, instead of SHA-256), faster difficulty retarget, and a slightly modified GUI.

As memory cost is platform-independent, [1] MHFs have found use in cryptocurrency mining, such as for Litecoin, which uses scrypt as its hash function. [3] They are also useful in password hashing because they significantly increase the cost of trying many possible passwords against a leaked database of hashed passwords without significantly ...
It has severe time-space trade-offs but concedes vulnerability to unforeseen parallel optimizations. [1] It was designed such that parallel implementations are bottle-necked by memory bandwidth in an attempt to worsen the cost-performance trade-offs of designing custom ASIC implementations. ASIC resistance in Equihash is based on the assumption ...

BLAKE was submitted to the NIST hash function competition by Jean-Philippe Aumasson, Luca Henzen, Willi Meier, and Raphael C.-W. Phan. In 2008, there were 51 entries. BLAKE made it to the final round consisting of five candidates but lost to Keccak in 2012, which was selected for the SHA-3 algorithm.
Verge Currency was created in 2014 and originally named DogeCoinDark. It was rebranded to Verge Currency in 2016. [1]Following the bitcoin principle, Verge Currency has a transparent ledger that allows anyone to view all of its transactions, but protects user identities and locations.
