What other benefits does Cuckoo Cycle have over cryptonight, is it quantum computer proof?
I have read Which reasons were discussed for potentially changing the proof-of-work algorithm? but aside from being more asic 'resistant' and faster to verify what other reason should monero change pow? With quantum computers a pow hardfork will…
