Ycash, or YEC for short, is a friendly fork of ZEC (Zcash) at block height 570000. Most of ZEC's improvements will be connected to YEC, especially the changes to the zero-knowledge infrastructure.Ycash will only maintain its own model when there is a major disagreement with the development direction of Zcash.The YEC mining algorithm is Equihash192,7, which supports GPU mining, both A and N cards.Other mining algorithms may be used in the future to counter ASIC.
