I hope they can get it fixed in days and not months. Now we know another way ASICs can damage a coin. I hope the Equihash coins take note of this and change their algos asap. Don't let the ASICs mine at all.
actually the equihash coins (expect BTG, eventually Bitcoin Private) decided first to make/order a professional research to see the impact from all angles, not just the miners one, which makes perfect sense for good valued coins that have a given target. You know that you miners are just a small part without real investement of the whole picture of a given project which includes investors, stake holders, companies, traders, foundations, whatever not,
And the allready shipped Z9's allready mine since yesterday on equihash, just as a side note.......
If any coin is researching if ASICs are good or not.. they are wasting their money. Not good. Out of the 22 doorstop ASICs listed on the following site, 10 were released in 2018. The only ASIC I support is the Antminer B3. It is not really that profitable, but the algorithm was made for ASICs, so I have no problem with that one. GPUs are good for years while ASICs are good for months.
