1. Protection from Asik.
2. Fight against inflation.
3. Marketing.
4. Your option.
I will add your suggestions and will update the post or will create a new topic.
whoa timewarp back to a few days ago!
1. no. There is no protection from asic's, as I've said in the past (you're welcome to search my posts) the use of asics in the long run are actually the protection, not the problem.
2. I agree that we should be cautionary when dealing with inflation, but as someone else has said the best way to combat inflation is further adoption. I fully agree with 8bitcoder's (the dev) comment about NOT changing the block reward. Changing the block reward would set a very bad precedent.
3. We don't necessarily need marketing, but we definitely need the information to be readily available, and clear. Again, feel free to search my posts or go to the top of this page to see my opinions on that.
cool man, cool.
Even doge and ltc getting dumped like hell because of all this asic hashpower and mp swapping pools.
So why not going in the pos direction ?
Scrypt is a dinosaur anyway imo and there are prolly some test fpgas already for x11 and cons.
So pos & Pot could be an option.
This is easier to realise then mass adoption overnight. lol
Just get rid of scrypt atleast.
RDD more then doubled the price after the announcement of PosV.
500Mhash Scrypt Miner already incoming and they will dump as long as its been profitable and do some serious bloodbath to a lot of coins before dif raise can compensate that.
