Don't bother replying to tonthattung238 - he made the supremely stupid mistake of copying one of my posts so I reported him/her/it for plagiarism.

I just recently diverted some of my CN-optimized hardware to mining Monero, which I will then use to buy DERO because I can make 6-10x more DERO that way. That said, it tickles me to no end to see that the Baikal Giant-N now makes 6 DERO per day, which is what my 1.9kH/s CN rig used to do. So the ASICs have already been dealt with, in a way.
However, I have allocated just as much hashrate to IntenseCoin because it drastically moved up its hard fork date to deal with the ASIC invasion when their network hit a "mere" 35MH/s. Yes, there were some hiccups from this hasty forking, but overall I feel ITNS did much more than pay lip-service to preserving the decentralization that only GPU/CPU miners can bring to a coin, and I am even more happy to support that project with mining.
I point my hashpower where it is loved and appreciated and I am definitely not getting the loving vibe from the DERO network these days. On a purely intellectual level I realize that even another month's worth of ASICs hammering the network with 100MH/s or more shouldn't affect decentralization too much, but it still burns me to see Bitmain X3 make in 7-10 days what it took me 4+ months to amass.
Exactly what he said!
The longer you wait to fork, the more community members you'll lose in the long run.

They promise to follow CryptoNight community into PoW change, I bought a GPU miner not for mine Monero or Sumo or another CryptoNote coin, but just for mining Dero... and now they change their mind, again...
At this point you should make the conclusion : they don't care, about us.
latest update is one of the best update after long time in blockchain industry. 500 TPS even 200 TPS will be revolutionary on private chain. Ethereum has 20-30 TPS on public chain.
3 seconds block time with 500 TPS is much bigger achievement to everyone in industry not just for dero.
