When devs needs hashrate they are the best friend of small miners, garage miners, medium miners, but when the coin reaches a great volume of money, they forgot all and don't care about community
That is a very interesting quip. Very thought provoking and made think more about the lifecycle of various coins. What about this:
1. Would Bitcoin be worth what it is today without ASICs?
2. Doesn't Bitcoin pretty much get a 'pass' when it comes to this since the original developer is anonymous? Sure, there is a development team working on bitcoin. But... they also seem untouchable or maybe since bitcoin is doing so well no one cares.
Regarding the OP, I'll just add:
3. I agree developers should act in good faith with their own community. Banning people for voicing an opinion is wrong. However...
4. Is there anything legally binding that says the developer "must" fork for various reasons? Starting off over a year ago to remain ASIC resistant is one thing. But a lot can change in that time so should coin developers not be flexible to changing strategies?
Maybe ASICS will be the fire power that pushes ZEC into the stratosphere in a couple of years time with ASIC mining and wider adoption.
