Read before you vote Smiley
This is not a proposal, just an opinion poll Smiley

In August of this year (2017), Vitalik Buterin, creator of Ethereum, released the implementation guide for the first version of Casper.

As a hybrid proof-of-stake (PoS)/proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm, Casper v1 is going to decrease (and eventually end) the profitability for Ethereum miners.

The release date is estimated to be sometime in 2018 as part of the Constantinople hard fork and there’s a lot to learn before this happens: More Info HERE

If you vote "YES , save GPU mining" , you need to know ETH going to be a PoS coin sooner or later, that eventually end the profitability for Ethereum mining Sad

If you vote "NO , Lets ASICs take over" , you need to know ETH going to be a PoS coin sooner or later, that going to make ETH ASIC obsceletes anyway.

So for GPU miners is a catch-22

Yes. Save gpu mining.

Even if it goes pos (and we'll see how it goes) we need to keep the fight against ASICS.

Otherwise we won't have a decentralised system for sure.
