what they should do is, yes, postpone sappling and deal with the ASIC mess right away. Priority should be given to what they said first, which is remain ASIC resistant, alter the algo to eliminate any threat of ASICs... sappling and any other upgrade came after the statements on ASIC resistance and forking off ASICs.
Who the hell are you to decide how they prioritize their work? First of all, there is no ASIC threat or mess. There are just ASICs, which are the natural progression of how coins are mined. ASICs are a good thing to everyone except end users that are worried about nothing more than their profits. Go mine some other shitcoins and stop posting this nonsense before someone actually takes you seriously.
I'm sorry to tell you this but you are missing the point.
We're not talking about the advantages of asic vs gpu or whether the devs have a right to do what they wish or not or about what to do first.
It's simple really. They said from the beginning they will not allow asiscs on their chain. Nobody can deny this. End of story.
