Have any of you guys heard what the various developers of Equihash based coins are planning to do in regard to the Bitmain Equihash Asic that's shipping in ~6-7 weeks? I read a rumor that BTG said they would fork, but I haven't heard anything (yet) from others.
It seems like most of the Zcash community wants to change algo to kill off ASICs just like Monero did, but Zooko and co is sitting on the fence.. they don't say either yes or no to ASICs yet.. well they kinda say yes by not saying NO.. the zcash community is pretty upset, a lot of people will abandon the coin if there's no algo change.
Ongoing discussion on the zcash forum an also on github:
