Ehm, I though those discussions about "ASICs are bad, because X" ended years ago by starting "ASIC unfriendly" altcoins. ASIC industry is twisted even without AsicBoost. I don't see any particular reason why to change rules just because of 10% edge.

This is opening Pandora box and it is potentially extremely dangerous for the health of the network. You cannot know in advance what you'll break by changing the rules.

Disclaimer: I don't have any stake in any ASIC company/facility.

Basically, the idea is to put in the first 64 bytes a 4 byte hash of the second 64-byte chunk. That design also allows increased nonce space in the first 64 bytes.

My mistake here. I didn't recalled correctly my own idea. The idea is to include in the second 64-byte chunk a 4-byte hash of the first chunk, not the opposite.
