More recent Zcash clones have been modifying first five characters of the 16 byte blake2b personal string of which Zcash sets initial eight to "ZcashPoW". Some examples are:
Bitcoin Gold (BTG) "Bgold"
Snowgem (XSG) "sngem"
Zero Currency (ZERO) "Zero_"
This became particularly important with the recent 51% attacks. It would be very helpful for the developers if the contents of these first five or of eight characters could be optionally passed on command line.
