ETHW was solely created by ethash asic mining farm / asic manufacturer who don't want their "business" taken away from them.

They recently did the same with Decred because Decred changed their distribution model from 60% / 30% / 10% to 10% / 80% / 10%
PoW / PoS / treasury.
The Decred project changed the distribution because they realized that their mining was very centralized due to an asic monopol.

In order for asic farm/manufacturer to continue their blake 256 machines (you could hardly every buy ones) they forked Decred (DCR) to Decred Next (DCRN).



While I truly support decentralized mining (best achieved with gpus) I am absolutely DISGUSTED by the ETHW or eg. DCRN project.

This isn't a new home for miners at all and sadly ETC hasn't realized that "issue".


I wish for a future for gpu miners (way higher decentralization than asics), so please don't fall for the ETHW or similar traps.
