gollark: There's this neat somewhat experimental proof of work thing, no idea if any cryptocurrencies *use* it: https://github.com/tromp/cuckoo
gollark: There are other cryptocurrencies using different proof of work things.
gollark: I think theoretically stuff could be switched over to a non-SHA256 algorithm, requiring... either the majority of mining power to agree to it or I guess just a lot of the nodes.
gollark: A similar sort of thing probably happened when ASICs which do SHA256 much faster than GPUs do were initially used.
gollark: If SHA256 could be done much faster, that would just make whatever can do it really fast the only way to do mining; it autoadjusts to the available has hpower.
