Obelisk January Update:
Forking the Network
The Sia community is currently debating a soft-fork that would exclude all Bitmain A3 units from the Sia network, while leaving Obelisk SC1 units fully operational. We encourage you to contribute to this discussion, and ask that you disclose your status as an Obelisk customer when commenting. Discussion is taking place on Sia's Discord and Subreddit.
Best,

Hopefully common sense prevails and they put this soft fork idea away. They are being very short sighted if they do it. What happens when HalongMining (assuming they can actually deliver miners) comes out with their 3.5Th SC miner? Fork again? They are sort of in a bad spot, and never should have entered the ASIC market. They found out that it is cut throat and someone else can and will eat your lunch. Bitmain saw this like taking candy from a baby. Expecting a DECRED miner out next,,, within the next couple of weeks. The SIA dev team should have focused their efforts on building out the platform and gaining legit real world adoption, ie. clients.
