Meanwhile bitmain and its ASICs will happily harvest Zencash unfairly....
This is corroiding zenchash nowadays unfortunatly....

yup, even after the Asics for SIA, XMR and ETH, the ZEN devs managed to not be ready. Hilarious ...

I think you are exaggerating now.

Please read this:
https://blog.zencash.com/mandatory-upgrade-zen-2-0-14-super-nodes/

While I am still mining ZEN and haven't sold any (for now), I have to agree with @CryptoWaffle here that every coin with so-called "ASIC resistance" had ample warning said resistance might not be as assured as once thought, especially after ASICs were released for both Ethash and CryptoNight.

So when I read something like this from the above blog:

Quote

Zen 2.0.14 is the update previously planned before the Equihash ASIC announcement and blockchain attack events. The time frame to include any new changes was too short to address these issues.

I think the dev is either lazy or deluded or incompetent.

Of course, the real threat to network security is arguably NiceHash, where it is possible to rent enough hashpower to execute a 51% attack on the smaller coins that use a common algo. Since NiceHash is unlikely to go away any time soon, and their location in Slovenia makes them all but untouchable, prudent coin devs should be figuring out how to mitigate such an attack vector now, rather than waiting for it to happen... Again.
