Has the BlockStack Proof-of-Work been chosen yet?

See the "Tunable Proofs" discussion in Seciton 2 of the whitepaper 2.0 https://blockstack.org/whitepaper.pdf

Initially, we rely heavily on proof-of-burn when the native hashpower on the network is lower. We're currently looking at memory-hard hash functions for the native PoW part.

> memory-hard hash functions

You may want to look at asymmetric memory-hard PoW as well (instant memoryless verification)
