XHash is mostly Ethash but with a few changes to make sure existing Ethash ASICs and Ethash mining software aren't compatible with Parallax.
Ethash -> XHash changes include:
2^256
to2^256-1
PARALLAX\x01
to DAGseedHash
We'll publish a reference implementation for XHash as well as a GPU miner after mainnet launch.
