which really leads me to wonder if their was any collusion between bitmain and zooko... people have asked for over a month if zooko has been in contact with any asic companies without getting an answer from zooko... and bam asics come out..
I already said something about that few months ago when zec dev said they would not fork if there was an asic for it, that time is when I found out zec devs gave the formula to bitmain to create an asic for it, all behind the curtains, zec dev saying on the matter concerning eth asic was just a confirmation of what was going on since november 2017. Bitmain took 3 months to develop the asic, prototype was done on january 2018, mass production started on that month but the collusion was few months back. However bitmain would not believe when the secret formula got in hands of the competition and now bitmain is releasing the asic cause the competition would take the credit for it and bitmain would not let it. I already said countless of times about this, nobody paid attention cause as always there is no proof till it happens the big announcement hehe, You trolls were warned by zec dev what would happen although I was not 100% sure till few weeks ago about the collusion.
Also I must add, the enormous increased in hashrate few months ago was all asics.
