Great article on the crypto mining industry and ASICs

> The Monero devs have committed to keeping the same general structure for the PoW algorithm

Not sure where he got that idea but it isn't true at all.

I was wondering that as well but figured it was stupid to do let alone comment on so thanks for pointing that out.

Yes, thanks for pointing that out smooth, hopefully the author will correct that, what would be a better way to more accurately describe the monero devs position on the PoW algorithm in regards to asic countermeasures?

There was a stated plan to make minor tweaks every six months but that is not any sort of 'commitment' to stick with the same plan for any particular period of time (and indeed few if anyone considers it a good plan to follow forever). If it turns out that it looks like there is something better to be done than the plan can (and probably will) be changed.

Thanks, so a plan to make beneficial changes as circumstances change, adaptation at it's best!
