Unfortunately this project will have to open up in the traditional way for ASICs and others. That's ok, I'd rather see it live on than die.
Note to all, I'm going to adjust the PoW scheduling to react better with ASIC level hashing. It'll be more or less the same as it is now with less extreme difficulty adjustments. And... as with the 0.15.2, this next release will be a mandatory update. I'll keep the board well informed of the status.
No No NO! To ASICS...
Please don't do that.
That makes this coin no different from every other broken ASIC coin....please stick with the plan.
If people don't want to stay, fine, let them go, but enough people will stay to mine coin.
It only needs 2 people to actually keep coin alive, and from there it can grow steadily over time.
Please try and limit back to cpu only via wallet only...if you do, your coin will stand alone against a tide of sh*t coins...
Give it a chance...as they say Rome wasn't built in a day

I tend to agree.
Is the fact that it's hard to mine really a bad thing?
Its not so much about the "hardness to mine", but more about the "fairness to mine".
If the coin remains only cpu and wallet bound then potentially virtually anyone can mine it with a simple home pc and have a good chance of winning a block, although the hashrate might be quite high, each miner will have a similar hashrate, maybe half or double some one elses but that's about all.
The second you can rpc, then you can either "solo pool " multiple pcs or worse start to use gpus, then the ratio to a guy using 1 Celeron 1 core vs 1 guy with 6 gpus becomes enormous, so all small miners are virtually killed...
The problem them explodes the second ASICS can mine. Although at that stage pools help, by allowing the small guy a chance to submit some shares the earmings are too low. So i'm all for any coin that is locked to wallet mining.
As for the current, massive hash day1, exchange day2, dump day3...I am mining several coins where they total nethash is around 2-10K, and there are only 20-50 miners worldwide, only on 1-2 exchanges and yet we are all making substantial money, so I like the slow burners that take a while to get established...for me mining is a cheap, long term hobby, and every so often you get lucky. (I made a huge amount of 1 random coin where in 3 hours I mined 5000 coins, at 2 sats, 4 months later they went to 22,000 sats...that to me is what mining is really about, randomness, fun and luck) I have no interest in sweating every MHz or .001% price change every second....just be a sloth, it works great
Btw, living in the UK with very exp electricity, I have never made a penny joining the ratrace, but the example I have given is just one my about 50 random coins that have given great rewards...but all pure luck, that's why I mine over 400 coins currently. You never know which might be a good one so give them all a chance.

The problem is that somebody went against the grain and re-enabled RPC commands getblocktemplate and submitblock in a custom build. They obviously don't see how popular this could be.... and that's a crying shame.
The only way I know of to prevent that is to make this closed source... but that violates many open source licenses... not willing to do that. Could swap the algo, but even then ASICS will come in eventually... look at X11. My specialty is audio programing and DSP which I do for a living. So figuring out some crazy crypto algorithm isn't exactly my cup of tea... it'll take some major RND on my part to implement a new algorithm.
So IDK, I'm going to keep thinking about where to go. I'm fully aware that opening up the RPC commands in the official build will kill interest of the project. But if I don't do it, then there's a small group of mega hashers sucking down all the rewards. At least re-enabling RPC will let others easily join the mega hashing party.
ASIC guys: the more you mine with your custom setup... the more you are killing the future value of this project. - So either you're in it to see success, or your in it to be greedy... the latter isn't going to make you or any of us any real money with ROBO... so good luck with that.
its sad, this token sound good.
