I've been supporting Dero since day one and the one thing that really hurts is that GPU miners(myself included) were the ones supporting and contributing to Dero since the beginning. However, the Dero team decided to hand the network over to asics without hesitation, centralizing the network with no solid explanation. Really puts things in perspective. I already sold all my Dero and have moved on to another project. I know many of my fellow miners have done the same. I check on how the project is doing from time to time but sadly, now, their just seems to be fud. Cryptonote is special because it is private, and asic resistant which helps make the network egalitarian. Something that apparently doesn't matter much to the Dero team. The premine shows a good amount of greed as well. It's impressive rewriting code and creating your own blockchain and the code is solid. Serena is an amazing community manager as well, maybe the best I have seen. However, I have also seen how unhappy miners abandon projects and I have been around long enough to know this is how many projects die. Asic miners love to dump coins, which cause the community to lose faith in projects and before you know it, they move on to something more innovative and egalitarian. The network doesn't survive without a strong base. I feel betrayed and I know most of this community feels the same way. I don't think you should get rid of asics anymore, it's only going to ruin your chances of recovery. You will make asics unhappy (you know they only mine like 3 dero a day per asic LOL) and most of the miners that were supporting Dero have moved on to a new and interesting project. It will be long before volume comes around again which means it will be a long time before a decent exchange. Your network will crash without asics. Such smart developers with such bad strategic thinking. I used to think one of the developers was from Monero but I know that is impossible now.
