Am I reading a different article? They said "Recently the Zcash Foundation announced a plan to prioritize ASIC-resistance research"
I just heard about the new stupid ASICs to be honest but I'm glad the team is working for ASIC-resistance. I just hope they would make it quick enough so as to throw people who support ASIC into a loss. If these guys make a profit, then they'll keep supporting new ASICs and Bitmain will keep draining money.
