the real fix I cen see for this is:
someone needs to come up with a hashrate stabilized way of mining the algo;  how this can be done purely client-side:  we need to brainstorm.

SSL uses timestamps;  maybe we can figure out some sort of deal like this to give an overall hashrate impact on result difficulty requirement.

I.E.  After X hashrate, your diff increases to offset to be a virtual  X hashrate.


People can get around this;  purely flat out random nonces and result ranges.   This is definitely possible.... but imagine a stratum trying to keep all of its clients records in this manner... what its checked and what it hasn't....   if you require the previous 3 nonces results as salts to the 4th nonce;  you are required to do sequential workunits..... and the random card is out the window as an option.


There are solutions to "anti-asic".  people need to "think 4th dimensionally" and consider the objective not the mathamatics side;  because the math is what the asic is good at.    Make the "meta"; the way of obtaining the result: the anti-asic strategy itself instead of the algo's individual mathematic calculations.

food for thought.



and FYI:  a subpoena on records, wallets, exchanges, etc... let alone the chip order purchase dates, board MFG and RX dates, etc for the XMR units would EASILY show if they were operating in a dishonest manner (selling used as new, etc etc etc).

The pure fact of drop in nethash at the split;  means that YES;  some of their machines were running.   Not beyond the shadow of a doubt;  but its more than circumstantial, as well as enough to go off of to open a lawsuit and obtain said legal documents/records they would have to prove their innocence.  Im not saying they were the ONLY ones with a XMR asic;  but;  Occam's razor.  I dare the imitation pundits to provide a simpler and more logical explanation.... I bet you can't.  If it were merely an issue of people not updating their miner apps;  the nethash would have climbed substantially after the fork to m7.

Sitting there and commenting with mostly denigration is extremely childish, and shows you know little about what you are speaking of... you only see a narrow slice of the big picture.
