well guess what if anyone had that power it would be bitmain sneaking something in the firmware, its sad because it probably defective hardware from bitmain possible a memory leak, or firmware issue, but they will blame SIA because its an easy taget with all that's going on in the community
Yeah because all A3's in different parts of the world will fail at the same time. lol
You have no idea of what you're talking about.
Sia Devs said they will fork to invalidate the A3's. It's really easy. They just have to install the new client version (that has the fork implemented) in the top mining pools. All the miners that are connected to that mining pool would be mining in the new forked chain and if there were A3's connected to that pool, guess what would happen: just what we saw today. I'm pretty sure they were testing it today.
The same problem happen with f2pool in china, sia has no contact or affiliation with them so no they were not testing IT today
