To ASIC or not to ASIC the question is now ...
To give major part of coin emission to a small group of large capital investors or to give a little bit to every one (the people) the question is now ...
ASIC folks, go fork ya'selves

I think othe makes a good point in the GitHub discussion, re: botnets and hobbyists.
I think another point to consider is whether or not Monero is going to abandon its six month hard fork cycle at some point. It was my impression that over the next year or three the protocol would mature, and the constant hard forks/upgrades would be phased out. If you're planning on forking constantly to try and evade silicon this becomes impossible, and you impose constant upgrades on users, exchanges, services, etc.
Just by doing it once proves that you are willing to do it again and adds a deterrent. AFA in the future, well that can be tackled then, right now we can get free HF with the Updates that are planned anyway.
Changing Algo was always in the future, it has to be.
Embracing ASICs would be a big FUCK YOU to everyone trying to distribute the network. Seems to have worked well for bitcoin. If you can't beat 'em, so be it. But I expect at least an attempt.
I wish the sell side on Polo would make an attempt. Fucking joke.
0.024 incoming it seems.
c'est la vie
Maybe I spoke too soon!
