There would be POW change if asics are spotted on DERO network.

Wait, how would you know if there are ASICs present if they are on a private pool or solo mining? I understand how you can figure this out on the official pool - and likely get this information from other public pools on the network, but not from private pools or solo miners.

Not that I doubt you, just that I am not aware of how this can be determined, especially for a CN coin which ensures privacy by default.

There is no bulletproof method to determine that exactly but as You look carefully in the network you will find natural growth. we monitor and correlate several parameters and most of the time you will find 80-90% of hashrate on public pools and remaining on private pools and most of the miners on slack/discord. when you see hashrate spikes/20-30 MHs you can see NH orders placed. Also you can see several NH order placers in slack/discord. But now there is no way you can stop NH. DERO hash growth has been proportional to numbers of members joined our slack/Discord/forum etc.
As of now we have around few hundred registered members on official DERO forum (https://forum.dero.io).
You are with us from beginning and have seen my stand against NH and also DERO diff algo is not profitable for NH users and believe me we have got lots of request(in various forms that can no longer be called requests) to change that algo. Asics will not have any major advantage on DERO if they wana come/go unless they wana stay for long. And then as said.
