 This algo is GPU and ASIC resistant. It shouldn’t really be possible to game it because it’s limited by the speed of writing to/from RAM. So it’s the throughput rather than the amount of RAM. This algo is GPU and ASIC resistant. It shouldn’t really be possible to game it because it’s limited by the speed of writing to/from RAM.

 +===== Additional Info =====
 +
 +The JAR makes no difference right now to any consensus or rewards if you run it. All the JAR is doing is some additional proof of work in the background (essentially wasted computations) in order to a) simulate the system load of this approach, and b) log info about the speed at which it is calculating.
 +
 +If we were to switch to this approach in the future, these computations would become compulsory in order to mint. They would prevent gamers from being able to run too many minting keys on a single node. But it comes with the trade-off of a lot of extra system load, which you can simulate using the PoW JAR.
 +
 +Once it's been running for at least a few hours, would be great if you could share your log file (or at least the lines that start with "Computed nonce"). 
 +
 +Log file is in ``%localappdata%/Qortal/log.txt.*`` 
 +
 +You can type `%localappdata%/Qortal` into the top bar in the file explorer, push enter, and it should take you to the folder that contains the logs.
