Potential Equihash Algorithm Change Preparation
Modifying ZenCash to use Equihash-144-5 is doable, and the software development team has started identifying the specific work that would need to be done in order to create and test this change. It would be a Hard Fork change, and for optimal success of the Hard Fork, it would be best to implement such a proposed change as quickly as reasonably possible before too many ASIC miners take over the hashrate of ZenCash.

...right. And nothing in what you just posted says they will or will not fork, just that they are leaning towards it. There's been no decision made yet.
You can keep taking your hopium all you want. I've seen Rob post too much saying there WILL be a fork. They're simply not rushing into it. However, it will be done "as quickly as reasonably possible."
is zencash change for put-off the new asics?
when fork in algorithm will happen?

The current potential threat to decentralization posed by a single company producing an ASIC miner is something that the community feels very strongly about. The ZenCash development team will work through the process to create a Hard Fork upgrade to the Equihash algorithm in the short term to address the threat.

We value decentralization and our GPU miners who are an integral part of the community! Changing algorithms is an extremely complex activity and we are not going to rush into a decision that may compromise the safety or integrity of the Zen network. Its important that we take time to conduct research and evaluate options to properly formulate a plan.
