Topic: Asiphobism and the Asicnostic (Read 109 times)

Hey ,
           Happy mining to you all.

Yes those words in the title are made up, but use your deductive reasoning and just listen to the heart of the message, will ya?

What are your thoughts on first generation miners (for lack of better description), the 'Asicnostic's' and the same for the 'next' generation of people flowing into mining who, like I described in a post I just posted to the litecoin forum, whom contain a portion who know little more about mining than what they heard on public television or the likes. Specifically with respect to the fact many new people getting into mining simply buy an ASIC or 20 from a big company, and know little more than how to plug and play?

Still need to play nice together in the sandbox...how can these two different miners better understand each other? Are ASIC miners intrinsically bad? Or could there be a bit of Asiphobism going on here if we are honest.

Looking forward to some intelligent, constructive conversation to better bridge some people caught in the middle of the old and the new...

Feel free to post why it is you are for or against ASIC's if you feel the need to educate, but the thread is under Altcoin mining, because I feel the ASIC's are under represented in the thread, don't know if they are afraid to post, or just not around...
