However, the Dero team decided to hand the network over to asics without hesitation, centralizing the network with no solid explanation.
We have been working to make a new PoW that is suitable for the needs of Dero Atlantis. We strongly believe in network security, and so we're working to expediently bring strong positive changes to the table. Network attacks are already happening on many networks, and the source of hashpower is not the issue, the vulnerabilities (that we fixed, and are continuing to fix) are the problem.

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.
I'm sorry if we gave that impression at any point. If you follow us on Slack, and in our forums you will see that we have a particularly strong interest in maintaining the egalitarian spirit of CryptoNight.

I feel betrayed and I know most of this community feels the same way.
The last thing we would like to do is alientate any portion of our community, and we're working very hard to provide a solution that factors in the many problems hidden and public. There is a lot going on behind the scenes in the crypto world, particularly with hardware and so it's not so black/white anymore.

Essentially, this issue is not black & white like many perceive it to be and with deep respect to everyone, this is about to become news in the crypto world.

You should be a politician Serena, you very good with your tact. However you and I both know CapDero didn't see a problem with asics since the beginning, as he stated. We both know the development team had over a month to fix their algorithm(we warned them of the asics with so much time), and we both know they could of made Dero asic resistant in about a week. People forget mining is for decentralization. Not to make developers rich with their premine. Dero has been secure for over a month and handing over the hashing power to asics makes the network more vulnerable because they have ALL the hashing power right now. Doesn't seem all that secure. Its also great to know the developers have their faces hidden so they can just start a new project later without any repercussions if this one doesn't go so well.
