What a depressingly scumbag move by the zcash people. guess its time to find another coin that actually promotes freedom of choice.
Someone else said it already, but this statement from the zcash foundation is more likely credible than that article above :
https://z.cash.foundation/blog/statement-on-asics/Though it's interesting that the Zcash foundation seems to be at odds with Zooko .... here's the quote
"...Another complicating factor is that the Zcash Companys chief, Zooko, has signalled ambivalence about ASIC resistance.
The Foundation is in the process of adopting community feedback as part of our own governance process, and in fact has already planned to represent the communitys interest in this debate via a proposed ballot for our election process. "Exactly. I don't understand all the people in this thread shouting "they will fork!" Did those people not read the official statement? The link has been posted twice now. They definitively state they are not forking right now and they might not fork at all. They also state that if they DO fork, it won't be until late this year. The exact quote:
"If its necessary based on our evaluation of the ASICs on the network, we will hire a developer to construct and submit a ZIP to mitigate its effect on the network. If the Zcash core development team and community approves, it will ideally be deployed by late 2018."
Read the statement people
