gollark: If I remember right they now use proof of work based on executing randomly generated programs.
gollark: You can run any quantum computing stuff on a regular computer. It just might be unusably slow.
gollark: This is done by making it so that they require large amounts of memory (I think this is mostly an issue for FPGAs though?) or basically just general purpose computation (regular CPUs are best at this) or changing the algorithm constantly so ASICs aren't economically viable.
gollark: The ASICs do that very fast. Some currencies are designed so that ASICs are impractical.
