The Ethereum-ASIC from Bitmain died before birth? Community speaks out against Asimov network
Source:
Early In the week, representatives of the private investment firm Susquehanna LLP visited the plant Bitmain. During the visit, the staff made sure to create a new ASIC miner for Ethereum. After that, shares of AMD and Nvidia fell, and miners began to shout about the death of GPU mining. It seems that all die the same ASIC for Broadcast, and do it before his birth. This is evidenced by the publication on the Internet.
theProblem ASIC miner for Ethereum
Remember To start with the Giant miner Baikal N. Device based on the algorithm CryptoNight was to bring $ 20 a day, and actually got banned in the Monero network. The list should join and other coin — IPBC.
The Developers don't want to see asik in their network — thus they protect its decentralization. To do this, developers will carry out the forks twice a year.
To Speak about such a scenario for the Ethereum-miner from Bitmain made Vlad Zamfir. Vlad is a leading developer of Ethereum, and in some sense the right hand Vitalik Buterin. He now leads the development of the Casper branch to test the POS-mining.
On the Eve of his Twitter feed appeared an interesting survey. It programmer asked subscribers whether they would support hardforce network to fight against ASIC miners. Vlad immediately clarified that this is not an offer, but a simple survey to explore thoughts.
Would you support a hard fork that obsceletes ETH ASICs? (Just wondering, this is not a proposal)
— Vlad Zamfir (@VladZamfir)
More than half in 55 per cent voted positively. 20% just wanted to see the results. So ppl were supported 68 percent undecided.
Zamfir also replies retweets followers. Obviously, their opinion of him closely.
Asics are a cancer to any coin, include BTC and ETH, but I'm really trust ETH Devs will do something to prevent Asics. Asics are the worst thing to happen because it's against decentralization, only few people have access to asics. Look BTC is very centralized now…
— Monkey D. Luffy (@mugiwara_br)
What Users see in the start of Asimov in the network a reason to further increase centralization. But this contradicts the idea of Ethereum and personal items Baterina.
Yes, absolutely. Nobody was promised a stable PoW algorithm for Ethereum, and the present one was deliberately designed to be hostile to ASICs.
ASICs result in more centralisation of mining power; forking them out seems like a good idea to me.
— The developer formerly known as Nick Johnson (@nicksdjohnson)
Readers think ppl were a good idea. The discussion also moved . As noted by a commentator under the name Helicon_Amateur, rather, the question is, did you put anyone of the participants of the thread in the GPU. If so, maintaining the forks should be obvious.
thea few
While the official announcement of holding no forks. But there are other important details:
the-
the
- the development team thinks about them; the
- leading developer of Ethereum, retvytyt records in which asik is called "cancer for any coin"; the
- powerful ASIC miners really concentrate computing power into fewer hands and to contradict the idea of decentralization.
The Chances of a fork. In this case, 2018 will not be the most successful year for manufacturers of Asimov.
