Greg, I think the recursive algorithm should still be faster on the left hand side than just rolling the coinbase extra nonce, but after the first sqrt the numbers are pretty small so maybe the constants dominate.
- optimiz3 10y agoA SegWit commitment on the left hand side causes any permutation on the right hand side to force a recalculation of the left hand side. This is still a non-issue as a solid GPU farm can crunch the SegWit version trivially and there are ASICBOOST compatible optimizations for SegWit that have not been publicly discussed. One should look at the R&D on ZCash's equihash to see some of the work that has gone into collision finding.
