Researching Yescript GPU & ASIC Resistant Hash with CPU-Miner Source Code

Now I started researching Yescript, which is hash algorithm of some cryptocurrency.

Yescript Users

Yescript is used by following cryptocurrency.

Source Code to analyze

I've downloaded CPU miner with Yescript from following page.

https://github.com/noncepool/cpuminer-yescrypt

This repository's source code contains Yescript code. After downloaded it, I've imported into Eclipse with C++ plugin, and now analyzing.

First Impression

After reading the source code of Yescript, it is GPU & ASIC resistant because it users certain amount of memory and diskspace to swap memory by mmap().

My friend who is mining BitZeny told mining result is not up to the CPU performance. I guess this is the reason.

Next, I'm going to make Yescript source code written in Java.
