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.

It's been posted already. Everyone is well aware of the risk. That would also be a *ferengi greed* move and sure to backfire long term. What would they do after HalongMining (assuming they exist) introduces their 3.5TH miner that blows away both A3 & Obelisk? What,,, fork again? I am starting to wonder whether the SIA dev team is outright amateurs. They never should have entered the ASIC market,,, did they really expect competition to ignore the millions to be made?
