Ask me, ask me..pleeeease ...me, me   

I dont see etc, BCH or many of the other coins forked recently (some with $bill caps) being fud...they are real. Basic crypto-economics .
They serve a community and a purpose....
There were asic miners,fpga miners and gpu miners on xmr afiak....3 dif groups of miners, now 1 is excluded.
yes so what if they need a large amount already, thats why they enjoy a fork to get even more for free.

Back to eth,
 Firstly i wouldn't advise anyone to buy asics for a coin that has had a pos switch planned from near day1 and we are very close to getting to that part of the roadmap this year.

 Another thing if eth forks to rid off asics, the new changes could also have asics in the future, but they wont say or sell them to the public.

 If people want to use the old chain ,they can, its happened before, it could happen again.
ETH roadmap continues.

Time to pile into BCH 

Being a long term hodler of ETH, i think the recent asic debate should be ignored.
We always knew from day one, that ETH was going to pos.
My first posts here over 2year ago, was because i wanted into the ETH pos system.
Hopefully sometime this year the transition may start.
There is no point writing new code and HF to prevent new asics that wont last more than 12months.

If for any reason, pos/hybrid pos is a long way off and asics do become an issue, then the new code could be put into the next planned update on the roadmap.
Not a HF specifically for removing asics today.

Also check out whats happening to xmr now...
On April 6 the privacy-centric cryptocurrency monero (XMR) forked the protocol in order to make the digital asset’s mining ecosystem egalitarian. However, the hard fork has led to the birth of four monero-based blockchain branches all claiming to be the “original monero.”

After reading this and observing from the sidelines,
 i feel there should should be no fork for asics.

Keep up the excellent work team ETH

No tek please stop the lies, BCH was not a plan for bitmain,
BCH was to save all of Bitcoin from segwet and AXA banking group.


Sounds like you want a pow change for og btc, go for it.
tbh this will be the only way to keep segwetcoin alive,

id suggest you segwetters start planning a HF for og btc and get rid of the asic miners before the asic miners get rid of you lot  
You could get gmax and fluffy to help you change the pow, im sure they are btc maximilists like most other ltc/xmr guys

og btc dropping again...let it, its overpriced and for an old fork its served it time well.

BCH will break this stupid trend of btc down all coins down.

Dont be shook out, Bitcoin cash is near bottom 

Thank you, totally agree , this  community has wonderful vision and a great approach.
Welcome 

^ you should have bookmarked it last year,  

Anyways, i know whats going on....
heres a lil tip...
its not going to be good for og btc when most miners switch to BCH  

lols haha , compensated lol , 0.2btc LOL  , its been alot higher than that many many times.
it went over 0.5!! did i receive peoples profits? no.  

Whats up tek, fatigued? like most segwtters lol
 your post quality is dropping m8.

How many times do i need to tell you the same thing ....
SUMMER 2018 will be when things change.

8months and BCH is stronger than ever  

First they ignore you, (done)
then they laugh at you, (done)
then they fight you, (where we are now)
 then you win. summer 2018

May 15, 2018, and will introduce a larger block size and some new operational coding.

The block size will increase to allow blocks of up to 32MB in an effort to allow more transactions at greater speeds, scaling the blockchain with the ever-increasing user base. Séchet also pointed out that new OP-codes (operation codes) and color coin technology could allow the introduction of basic smart contracts and representative assets to the BCH network in a move deliberately designed to emulate Ethereum's qualities.

Bitcoin ABC is not the only BCH client - others, like Bitcoin Unlimited and Bitcoin X have apparently also agreed to adopt the new changes. In an intrview at Satoshi's Vision conference, when asked about whether having multiple implementations of BCH was a complication, Séchet said he felt it benefitted the community to have different versions for a number of reasons, stating that different client implementations meant the network could go on if there was a bug. He also pointed out that "if one client started going rogue it would start to lose market share and another client will gain that market share. It’s keeping everybody honest."

 

ahh, but you see thats where you guys come in....if the new hf fails or anything goes wrong...
we have the same amount of coins on the previous chain that you guys will keep alive 

lol Its open source bro...im sure bitmain cant pay him more than what he can earn by using his brain and being innovative.
Also when a coin is improving, upgrading,updating, yes it may require regular forks.
Ive been through so many forks bro , i dont fear them...Darkcoin forked weekly for months to implement the masternode system, eth forks regularly to add upgrades too.

Right heres the thing, og btc was stagnent since 2011, once satoshi left, nothing happened, no innovation, innovation requires HARD FORKS.
Thanks to core btc lost its dominance because innovation moved to altcoins...we got smart contracts on eth and privacy coins and faster cheaper coins.
All this innovation is now coming back to bitcoin via Bitcoin Cash...so yes regular hard forks will be essential for BCH to become #1

biggger blocks, privacy options and more are part of BCH roadmap and the community is 100% behind it.

Not even 1 long term bitcoin cash hodler on this forum has complained about the upgrades.
