Represents a middle-ground. yescrypt's ROM was also motivated in part by the threat of botnets. You don't need to go for GPUs for botnet resistance - you can use and depend on a lot of RAM instead (more than you'd expect in most botnet nodes in a few years' time). Putting more RAM into servers doesn't have as many drawbacks as putting GPUs in there. Alexander
