@asdb its difftent from when they moved from 5 to 3 eth since they also dropped the block time from 30 sec to 15 sec so it was a wash.  This is the first true reduction of issuance.


honestly I feel this is a good thing , my hope is gpu miners stay on the old fork similar to how etc was formed, then at a later date implement the constantinople changes along with a progpow or cn7 v 2 fork and let the asics have eth.

We need to reduce the dependence of mining profit on ethereum asap anyways, let asics have it.

I think this will show all those who say there is too much hash out there for other algos not to get destoyed when eth becomes unprofitable which i may well be with a 30 percent drop in block reward unless price rises by 30 percent.

When you all see that the majority of hash in etherum is asic based anyways , I have a feeling 70 percent of the the eth hashrate is Asic, vitalk and them i bet know this.
