All of the small guys buying ASIC's to mine this coin will soon find out the hard way just as I did a long time ago mining Bitcoin with ASIC's; that they cannot compete with the manufacturers. The only community this crackpot team will have remaining will be operators of secure nodes and super nodes along with a few centralized ASIC manufacturers. And probably some speculators on the exchanges. As far as actually USING this coin? Hell no! I'm pointing everyone towards Monero.
Moving to a blockDAG should allow us to collapse the difficulty to a point where single GPU solo mining is possible once again. This has been talked about for 8+ months now and has always been the mid term solution we're aiming for.
The recent decision simply means that we aren't willing to risk a drop in hash by shifting parameters.
The real solution to decentralise mining is and almost always has been the blockDAG, that's why it's a fully funded project that's already well underway.
