it is said that ETH is going to fork in July to resist ASIC

Check your sources because they are wrong.

EIP 958 was requested to be added to the next Ethereum Core Devs meeting on April 6th. Nothing has happened yet.

EIP #958: Modify block mining to be ASIC resistant.
https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/958


thx for pointing it out, I checked the rumor source and found it was kinda fake news

What the hell what fake news? That is a link to the OFFICIAL ehtereum github page. Those links show you the agenda of the ethereum core developers meeting and the improvement plan to implement a fork that disables ASIC mining? Go post boosting in bitcoin discussion or somewhere else.

Everyone should upvote the EIP958 if we ever want to see this E3 ASIC disabled.
