Raven is starting to show it's value already ... these messages of truth, ... at this point, I really can't imagine mining anything else- virtually any other minable coin is also being mined by ASICs.
The few mineable cryptocurrencies that haven't yet been affected significantly by ASIC mining will eventually be affected unless the coin developers themselves enact significant changes to the coin's mining algorithm, and even then only X16R is a remotely satisfactory algorithm for deterring ASIC manufacturers. The other coins must change to an algorithm that doesn't lend itself to being practical or profitable enough for ASIC manufacturers to pursue development of an ASIC miner. Obviously, X16R (RVN) is the only coin providing this solution while all other coins are being mined and diluted by ASICs as you read this message. Even if they change those coins in the future, such as ETH- it won't change the fact that millions upon mllions of the coins were mined unfairly by those using application specific integrated circuits, many of which are not available to the public. Bitmain has been known to keep private it's new ASIC miners until profitability drops, at which time they sell the same devices to the public that are purposely not released to the public while they are especially profitable. This causes many coins to be necessarily diluted.
But when I mine RVN, I know there's less than 2THs of mining power on the entire network despite the presence of well over 12-15K unique miners. A fair playing field.
It's the only way to mine on a fair playing field and the only current way for any coin to be fair regarding mining, dilution and ASIC's.
But, it's important for much more than just mining, it's important for valuation purposes ... among other things.
I do declare, this 'RVN' coin is the only way that I can mine using my GPU, knowing for sure that the playing field is 100% fair and that there aren't big whigs using ASICs to rapidly, unfairly mine coins and dilute my holdings.
I plan to mine this coin in perpetuity unless or until something changes regarding cryptocurrency algorithms and exploitation of mining via ASICs or other exploits.
