Whether or not a miner mines for profit has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether or not a project, such as ZEN, ZEC, BTG, XMR, etc... decides to actually DO WHAT IS BEST FOR HUMANITY. ROFL....
All you're concerned with is profit. That's it... and you admit it. You're prerogative... I too care for profit. However, unlike you, I ALSO care for a coin/project that's a viable alternative to FIAT to help humanity in regards to decentralized currency, privacy, freedom of speech and freedom from tyranny.
Why are you taking this personally and boasting about your mining ideals, does that makes you feel good ? This is not about you and me. Neither you know my motivation for mining.
First you were talking about community & miners and now you are talking about the project & devs, those are two different things. Are you saying that it is the job of the devs or founders to be responsible for what to do best for humanity ? because it does not matter "Whether or not a miner mines for profit" You assume and blame me for mining for profit but then say that it does not matter "Whether or not a miner mines for profit". Contradiction.
You keep contradicting yourself. On one hand you say, not surrender then you say, "not much we can do right now." Note: how you said, "right now" to cover your ass. BUT while continuing to say afterward "...but that won't make much difference to the big picture, etc... etc... etc..."
So what's the deal?
You come on here ridiculing me for speaking out for a viable coin for humanity and an ASIC Resistant coin being part of the solution for humanity. While at the same time admitting yourself in this quote I made of yours that something needs to be done.
Are you bi-polar or something?
I'm doing as you said, "Don't surrender." Then, you come on here ridiculing me for voicing my opinions and "NOT SURRENDERING." ROFL....
You were saying that ASICs were not necessary but how is something unnecessary when it was destined to arrive. You can not go back to past and remove ASICS from existing. Everything happens for good in the universe. It was destined to happen. Our present actions are not decided by us but by our destiny. Only because of Cold war man pushed themselves to their extremes and we reached the moon, it had to happen this way only because it was destined to happen this way. ASICs are just a phase of cryptocurrencies that will be gone but it will only help them. There can't be any other way round.
