I want to start off by saying that I understand your sentiment. ASICs could certainly be perceived as a threat, especially if the market is monopolized. There are lots of people who hate Bitmain for example. I feel like there are a couple of things wrong with your solutions though.
And now I ask people to unite for building a brighter future of a decentralized crypto world. I ask everyone to follow the rules and we will definitely win. My suggestions:
- All people stop buying any ASIC equipment.
- Employees of all ASIC factories must resign at their own volition.
- Large companies and banks should impose sanctions on all suppliers AISC components.
- All active coins for which ASICs are used must produce anti-ASIC hardfork.
I'll respond bullet by bullet
- If people stop buying ASICs, wouldn't the hashpower be even more centralized? That would mean only the manufacturer will be able to have access to devices that mop the floor against the competition.
- Employees have mouths to feed, and it's often not worth throwing away the means to that because of ideals. Certainly not this one in my opinion.
- This needs to happen on a legislative level if you want any kind of compliance. Banks and companies stand to lose money by not dealing with them.
- I'm not well-versed in the issue, but can a PoW coin be truly ASIC-proof? Wouldn't manufacturers simply need to create hardware for the exact algorithm in question? If you're going to change the algorithm every now and then to stop ASICs, wouldn't that discourage people from mining? I'm genuinely interested about how it will work. I don't have a strong stand on the issue.
Overall it seems like a problem with no easy answers.
