Both of you probably missed the subtle satire in my post. It definitely was not an advice. But, if someone proposes to change the Bitcoin protocol to be ASIC resistant, then they will be better off by converting their own BTC holding to BTG or BCD.
it is incredibly difficult to convey a satirical message in text without making it incredibly obvious. it's pretty easy to miss to be fair. however, there's no basis for converting bitcoin holdings to its altcoin forks in the hypothetical scenario, nor have you provided any explanation for your thought process. care to explain?
How about freezing the difficulty once the block rewards have finished. This could lead to the block generation time being linked to transaction volumes and fee rewards. This could also help with scaling.
an interesting idea, but personally, I think there
has to be some correlation between the difficulty and the network's total hash rate; as long as there is a reasonable amount to be made from mining blocks, people will keep buying miners to increase their odds of mining a block / their share form the pool. if we end up basing the difficulty purely off other variables (tx volume + fees in this case) we might end up with an incredibly disproportionate difficulty and drastic changes to the bitcoin network.
