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?
Do you happen to know of one such algorithm that is vetted to be secure and is currently available or can be easily put into production for ASIC chips?
If there isn't such a chip that allows for (relatively) decentralised ASIC mining, then the next best thing to do is simply going to be delaying tactics to allow the coin to be mined in a decentralised manner until such an algorithm becomes available and chips are produced for it.
