This is good, one day asic buyers will learn their lesson. If this block keep happens then bitmain and co will never sell asics for coins that are fighting them anymore, they will keep them hidden. The idea here is to change the algo regardless if asics will be released or not. Remember that the coins need to be like our body, our body has immune system, it adapts and kill, if not then take medicines to get better and then that will not work anymore. I worked with adaptive systems my whole life. I have the concept and the skills, If i was to create a coin, it would be 100% immune to anything.
you are quite right, perpetually changing algo is the best way to stop these fuckers
Yeah, as much as it pains me to admit it, I totally agree with @metroid here. Preemptively changing the algo is the only surefire way to stop ASICs.
That said, it isn't the ASIC that is evil, it's Bitmain. ASICs could be a net positive for cryptos because they dramatically lower energy consumption, but when there is only a single company that makes them, and then does the crypto equivalent of insider trading - mining with them for weeks or months before selling them as "new" - well, it's no wonder that company - and their products - are hated.
