@smooth. What is your position on the proposal?

I'm neutral and I will support either continuing to tag along with Monero's anti-ASIC strategy or ASIC-friendly and low-overhead algorithm such as SHA-3.

I don't support ASICs on cryptonight nor arbitrary changes to this or that algorithm with no useful properties of its own but intended to give temporary advantage to GPU miners for some limited period after a switch.

Proposal to switch to SHA-3 proof of work
https://www.reddit.com/r/Aeon/comments/aw2xhn/proposal_to_switch_to_sha3_proof_of_work/

I support this. This is the only way to go forward, I reckon.

Also, the only people who will be against this proposal are the GPU mining farm owners who will be the first people to leave Aeon when they see another more profitable coin to mine.

Net hashndoubled overnight. Pretty confident ASICS are the cause.

I'm not going to embrace Cryptonight ASICs because such a thing is pure stupidity from a design perspective (useless added cost and complexity and poor verification time, and increased DoS vulnerability).

If we embrace ASICs it will be with a sensible ASIC-friendly algorithm. The only reason to make the tradeoffs Cryptonight does is "egalitarian mining"

So when will we be forking to CN-R or CN-X Smooth?

What Asic friendly algorithm would you suggest, if the community decided that it wanted to embrace Asics?

I reckon it might be critical for Aeon's growth to be a more secure cryptocoin via hashrate. At least we can promote it as a more secure option than some of the top 50 cryptocoins hehehe.

@smooth. What is your personal position on the issue of new round of Asics finding its way in Aeon again? Embrace them or follow Monero's hardfork to kill them?

we live in uncertain times for cryptos, even if blockchain is more and more adopted by industries..

some recent but important actors still function a lot profitably:

https://www.theblockcrypto.com/2019/02/06/analysis-binance-brought-in-446-million-in-profits-in-2018-despite-the-bear-market/

aeon is in part dependant from xmr, which is presently stuck, even with its good technical dossier.

a lot of cryptos will disappear, not the good ones which are the functional ones.

all is in resolution of bear market issue.

@boomboombazooka. I reckon the smarter people might have already sold last year and might never come back because Aeon is very illiquid. They got out, why baghold this again? It would be smarter to look for a better investment.

@wavessurfing. I reckon the psychology of a functioning community behind a weak cryptocoin is normally caused by a group of bagholders. We the loyal holders who held and will hold have no other way but to make as loud of a noise to let Aeon be known and hope that people buy and join us in bagholding.

The smart people left, I reckon. Some with profit hehehe.

I think the even smarter people might pick up a bag now that prices are lower. A good bag of CN coins is a wise bet IMO.
