This is a utopian ideal, that doesn't work in the real world. As long as there is an incentive to mine, people will find faster and better ways to do so. The whole point to POW was to present an incentive for people to participate and secure the *decentralized* network that supports bitcoin.
Me a damn utopian socialist/communist piece of crap? Don't even try to put that crap on me!
How the hell is affording everyone the SAME "OPPORTUNITY" a damn utopia? I sure as hell did not say, "Take from one group and give to another!"
I simply pointed out everyone should be afforded the SAME OPPORTUNITY without having to compete against a manufacturer who uses the hardware they make to mine for themselves and compete against their own customers WHILE selling that hardware to their customers at astronomical prices compared to their own cost of hardware they mine with.
ANYONE supporting HORIZEN and values their PRIVACY would have no affiliation with the CRAP you're TRYING to attach me to with this so called Utopian crap!
You STILL don't get it cause your mind is weak and easily manipulated OR you are shilling for ASIC's and trying to convert weak and/or ignorant minds yourself.
You're STILL not reading my damn post!
Have you NOT seen my post for PROG Proof of Work? Apparently not. -OR- You are ignoring it and don't want to mention it to keep it quiet from those who may be ignorant that such an algorithm actually exists.
There are ALREADY two different proof of work algorithms available that put ALL hardware (GPU's, ASIC's and FPGA's) on an even keel for the most part.How much of an even keel? 1.1 to 1.0 -OR- 1.2 to 1.0 in favor of ASIC's and FPGA's. Meaning, an ASIC or FPGA would only have approximately a 10 to 20 percent better hash rate. HOWEVER, THEIR POWER EFFICIENCY WOULD BE KEPT PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS GPU's. This would FORCE manufacturers of ASIC's and FPGA's to compete on the manufacturing cost of their hardware with GPU's if they are to compete at all for those who wish to mine coins on the PROG Proof of Work or similar algorithm.Horizen is ALREADY looking into algorithms of this type for the future.
So, our discussion is OVER... Done!!! ANY argument you may have to the contrary in favor of your precious ASIC's/FPGA's is meaningless.
Get over it!
