My opinion is Say No to ASIC and make a hardfork ASAP.
1. Any cryptocurrency, once accept ASIC, will lose the ability to change algo forever. I dont trust Bitmain. Dont make Bitmain control the ZEC hash power. Anybody really think they do care for ZEC or any other coin for that matter?
2. Bitmain definately have been hidden ASIC mining ZEC as of now. They always hidden mine a coin , sell that coin, use the money to make more asic, then they sell asic. they eat all.
3. Look at Monero(XMR) and SIA (SC).
- XMR kicked out 60-70% hidden hashpower.
- SC is a new ASIC coin
- XMR History High: $494. Today: $250 (50.6% of history high)
- SC History High: $0.097. Today: $0.0284 (29.2% of history high)
- ZEC History High: $876. Today: $310 (35.4% of history high)
4. Point to Ponder: How many hidden ZEC ASIC now? How many ZEC did they sell everyday?
