How come Decred devs have chosen such an UNdemocratic mining algorithm for the POW part?
I know that blake is a near perfect cryptographic algo, but that is not my point!!
ASICs will come (fpga are heavily used already for this algo). And yes this is totally fine as well. What is not ok is that a select few will profit from this. = VERY undemocratic
How come decred EMBRACES the next ASIC scams or the next centralized mining farms.
If you are looking foward to the ASIC endgame then chose an algo for which ASICs are already in existence.
The problem isn't ASICs but the TRANSITION PHASE TO ASICs which this coin (algo) will go through again.
While bottlenecked algos (mostly memory hard ones) serve absolutely NO purpose in the mind of devs (cryptographically) they do serve a democratic purpose as in a fairer (nothing is fair anyway) distribution.
After all, Decred is at the bottom of the heart a currency (shhh don't tell the govs), please think about issues beyond coding because some very much can be/are issues IMHO.
PS: The POS implementation is grandiose btw!
