I support the idea of forking and creating the coin in your own vision; that's crypto at its best.
But claiming 80% of the network was against it... Just how much of that hash was ASIC hardware in comparison to GPU/CPU hardware?
Doesn't sound particularly fair either way, really. But I support the fork removing ASIC hardware more, based on my own preferences.
From
https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/8005/why-is-the-monero-hash-rate-so-low-after-the-v7-fork-compared-to-other-monero-fo"ASICs are hardware made to run one particular piece of code fast, and nothing else. ASICs were made to mine Cryptonight, and were able to do it much faster than CPUs and GPUs, leaving normal users out in the cold. When Monero forked, these ASICs were left unable to mine Monero, causing the overall network hash rate to plummet, restoring viability to everyone else."
Yea. I don't support the forks..but the xmr miners are giving me lower hashrate so I might have to switch to XMC to keep using Claymore 9.7
