This is how I see it. Right here the dev is basically saying that he doesn't believe the GPU miner is a big problem, but is responding to the community and will work on fixing it. I don't even understand how the devs can say definitely that the CPU mining power grossly outweighs GPU power. Maybe there is something I am not understanding here, but a hash is a hash is a hash. The only clue would be the IP address of the node that the block originated from, but you couldn't say definitively if that hash is coming from a CPU, GPU farm, or a botnet. A GPU farm could easily be using multiple IP addresses to hide their mining if they wanted to. If there is something I don't understand about the technical details here, please correct me because I am admittedly not a expert.
It doesn't matter to me. I don't have anything against GPU farms and ASICs, but why did the devs put the below statement in the ANN at launch then?
So centralize mining is bad and mining farms lead to poor coin distribution, so blah blah blah, Axiom is going to decentralize mining power because it's super important. Then, within days, a private GPU miner is released and in the hands of a small group of individuals, and Axiom developers think "Oh nothing wrong with this, let's carry on" until people bitch and moan about it. HUH!?!?! I don't care about a private group of individuals keeping a miner to themselves, I care about a developer claiming that centralized mining is the bane of crypto one day, and then not concerned in the slightest about threats to it the next. Not to mention the mere fact that a GPU miner was created so quickly shows the developers to be incompetent at best and blatant scam artists at worst.
And please, Axiom is so worried about "poor coin distribution" that they ninja launched in the middle of the night with front loaded rewards and the slowest syncing blockchain known to man. I don't care about ninja launches rewarding the lucky few who catch it early. I did and earned .3 BTC just by downloading the client, typing "setgenerate true -1" and letting it run for a few hours. So thanks for the easy $55 I guess. But hell, at least try to not insult the intelligence of everyone here by claiming you care about poor coin distribution when you launch a coin in this way.
The cherry on top of all this is the revolutionary POS 3.0 they are working on! So supposedly there are flaws in the current implementation of POS 2.0 which Axiom is going to fix. So not only is POW being exploited by GPUs, POS is being exploited as well!!! Did you not notice these flaws in previous POS 2.0 coins? If you did and they were such a big deal, why not fix them before launching the coin? Did you guys test anything for more than a day before launch?
So basically the Axiom devs admitted that they can exploit the mining of their coin but we just need to trust them that they aren't, and if anyone else out there has the knowledge to do so, it's not that big of a deal and they are working on fixing it.
the whitepaper they used said GPU would not be faster for cpu, back in thread
now they fix... and if they see now POS 2.0 is broken in their coin why is this bad? you prefer to leave it broken and unfair? Many people know the tricks and some are easy, setting your clock ahead a minute or two and some only devs know. I hope they fix the POS 2.0 exploits for the good for all cryptos.
