I agree with pennys2pounds . I also reckon that Aeon will have to move out of Monero's shadow, and embracing ASICs would just be that opportunity to do it. We cannot be another litecoin of bitcoin that always waits like a parasite scamcoin and copies features developed in Monero.

And what about the decentralisation ?

If common people can't mine, only big farm will do, and what about Bitmain ? only one compagny behind more of 51% of the calculation could be an enormous problem on middle/ long terms ...

The ASICs are coming and there is nothing the common people can do about it. But smooth and americanpegasus has thought it good to switch to an ASIC resistant mining algorithm, which is a misnomer, and then switch to an ASIC friendly, but easier to commoditize mining chip production algorithm if it does not work.

Now I ask, wouldn't it be better if we went straight to the ASIC friendly, but easier to commoditize mining chip production algorithm, than going through hardfork after hardfork?
