The question of the fight against ASICs is now very relevant! After all, asiks kill decentralization. Attaboy. Good channel. You found another subscriber.  Wink Keep up the good work.

Nice article Vosk. I'm old school in that I actually prefer to read a written article to watching a YouTube video. Smiley Your article was well written, as well as informative, and was a pleasure to read.

The full article is on steemit w/ links embedded and formatted correctly but here's a paragraph cut from it

"Bitmain is the world-renowned and dominant Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) miner producer under their Antminer brand. ASIC miners are built for one purpose which is to mine a specific mining algorithm. Purpose built ASIC miners are much more efficient than using graphics cards which are multi-purpose hardware. Similar to graphics cards, Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) are multi-purpose hardware. FPGA miners are much more powerful and complex compared to GPU miners. Currently the only miners the majority of the public can operate with no advanced training are GPU miners and ASIC miners. The concern many cryptocurrency miners have is not with the actual ASIC mining device, it is the fact there are very few manufacturers that sell these miners directly to the public. ASIC miners now threaten to consume essentially every cryptocurrency mining algorithm. Complacent projects like Zcash that toted "ASIC resistance" are now struggling with how to properly respond to new ASIC miners."
