It is just sad to see, how the coins that were mined with GPUs and CPUs for years will now be mined with ASICs Sad

. I really hope Cryptonight algo hard fork will make CN ASICs useless.

The question is, will there be a hard fork? I'm hoping there's going to be one, but I really don't know man. Look at Sia coin they were not happy when Bitmain came out with a Blake-2b Asic, but they refused to do a hard fork.

What question? Monero forks at the end of this month, and every 6 months, and will "emergency fork" if needed [https://getmonero.org/2018/02/11/PoW-change-and-key-reuse.html]. Sia is really different, they are building their own ASIC.

Monero: We will fork as necessary to prevent ASICs that we think will damage our coin.
Sia: We will fork so only our ASIC can mine our coin.

Quite different...
