ASICs increase network speed. Increased network speed leads to a more secure network.

they increase network hashrate, not speed. Nothing but the design of the coin and block time scheme effect the speed of coins generated/transacted.

to increase the network speed; you must remove transport overhead and other associated data.....

Adding a S9 to the BTC network doesn't speed it up at all... it just adds to nethash and block diff requirements....

If there was a way to limit nethash; then you would be onto something useful in your conceptual goal.

ASICS become paperweights.

If your notion that ASICS are good overall; you are sorely mistaken IMHO.

And Ill quote my original reply from this thread many pages earlier:

the real fix I can 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. This type of scheme, can be made to force out high hashrate devices but mainly pools in general.

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.

This is it in a nutshell when I started Mining btc network was 21,000gh

My 21gh was 1/1000 of the entire network.

We made blocks at 144 a day on average just like we do with 30,000,000,000gh

I would need 30,000,000 gh to have 1/1000 of the network.

The network would be just as secure with 21,000gh in gpus if growth was capped to 1% per jump.

51% attacks would be stopped.

So many ways to do well in this game. Other then asics.

More then 100,000,000 PCs have a gpu that makes money if it mines.

Why destroy the easiest way to get mass adaptation of crypto.

Only hope is newer coins and algos that allow gpus to earn money and spread adaption of cryptocoins.
