DeroProject is testing new algo code named: DeroKnight . Objective of DeroKnight algo is test simultaneous fair mining by ASIC and GPU and removing any unfair advantage of any mining devices. DeroKnight is same as original CryptoNight but works by decreasing the efficiency of ASICs to match with GPUs. Efficiency of ASICs are decreased by adding an extra rule in DeroKnight to force nonce to be multiples of 101. Assuming that all ASICs generate nonce sequentially or randomly but do not have the capability to generate nonce of specific series and cannot be reprogrammed. This extra rule can be implemented in few lines for CPUs and GPUs without any extra load. For further detail please see github.com/deroproject/documentation/blob/master/testnet/DeroKnight.md
