The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Cap: Lightweight, modern open-source CAPTCHA alternative using proof-of-work
SHA-256 PoW will probably work until it doesn't (if bots choose to invest in ASICs). Also users may be at a disadvantage as JS crypto would not be optimized for PoW (for example lack parallel crypto capabilities or context switching between calls).
Some cryptocurrencies which aim for ASIC resistance would create algorithms that require re-implementation of a significant fraction of the the CPU die to work. Such as randomx[1] but that would require native support from browser JS environments to not grossly lose performance vs. the bots.

Ask HN: What fuel for my data furnace?
This is not true for all crypto coins. A small proportion of mining hash functions are deliberately designed to thwart ASICs, e.g. https://github.com/tevador/RandomX. It's a cat-and-mouse game, though: CryptoNight was designed to fulfill the same role, but ultimately failed: https://monerodocs.org/proof-of-work/cryptonight/.

RandomX Inputs
Can we reference this specs doc from the Randomx repo https://github.com/tevador/RandomX/blob/master/doc/specs.md . I am going to be using the variables K and H as described in the doc.

Why does purplecoin want asic friendly pow algorithm if you are advertising full node on any device?
Monero uses randomx, an ASIC-resistant and CPU-friendly POW algorithm created by Monero community members, designed to make the use of mining-specific hardware unfeasible. Monero previously used CryptoNight and variations of this algorithm. More info in the GitHub repo.

How to code javascript monero mining algorithm from scratch?
Here's the randomx github. Or at least I think its the same randomx that xmr uses? https://github.com/tevador/RandomX. There's some stuff in there under the documentation section.
- is monero CPU intensive or ram

[serious] Is Monero really what investors think they would get buying Bitcoin?
Monero does not have ASICs since RandomX was implemented in 2019. CPU is the best way to mine it. See https://github.com/tevador/RandomX.

A NOTE TO POOL ADMINS: A daemon upgrade might not be enough to work after hardfork.
I've already reported this to MoneroOcean's node-cryptoforknote-util repo: https://github.com/MoneroOcean/node-cryptoforknote-util/issues/19 and Snipa22's repo: https://github.com/Snipa22/nodejs-pool/issues/496
