Pretty sure Chatturga asked for things like what pool are they mining to? or anything that would offer some validity to the statement.

It's easy for anyone to go around claiming they have an x16r Asic and are mining with it. The problem is that x16R hasn't been profitable enough for long enough to justify sinking the cost into building an Asic. The only Asics that launched and were believed to be non-existent before had been developed during the boom.

So great that you're trying to spread information, but people aren't going to haphazardly fork the chain against a threat that can't be proven or even properly investigated. I can say I'm glad for that, because even if it was proven there was an asic down the road, reacting before investigating would do more harm than good. Who would trust in a project that panics at the first whisper of a rumor?
