Anyway GPU Mining is DEAD, with actual diff and price of 91 USD it's not profitable to GPU mining anymore
Until he does that, people will have a hard time taking Bitcoin seriously.
Hmm... IMO that should read IF he did that then people would have a hard time taking Bitcoin seriously.
If the core dev at a whim decided to just "change the rules" and turn millions of dollars of hardware investment into electronic trash then Bitcoin would indeed be considered a bad joke.

I can't stand asics and specially most of it's manufacturers but someone would probably pay for Gavin's execution if he'd do it
This is the strangest thread I have read so far in bitcointalk.

If Gavin Andresen modifies the code to make it impossible for Asics, that would stop the excessive growth of difficulty. Until he does that, people will have a hard time taking Bitcoin seriously.
Why would anyone block miners from China, are you crazy?
Nobody should block AsicMiner itself, let alone whole country.

Eventually someone will bring up this topic, so why not just start here...
If AsicMiner will add 800-1000TH to mining, then the individual's small machines will be useless. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2622243
When this happens, will anyone think it is justifiable to block mining power from China? Will this cause too much collateral damage since there are so many individual miners in China as well?
If it is justifiable, then how to do it technically or what is the process to seek consensus?
