Looking at Monero after its anti asic hardfork

in monero •  7 years ago 

Btw ASICs seem very rigid and very special purpose. It wouldn't be possible to hijack the network unless the ASICs themselves got something snuck in them that an attacker would be able to exploit right?

I think a lower hashrate is not necessarily a bad thing. Could be that they may just need to make a difficulty adjustment to speed things along. As long as nobody can take over 51% and start producing bad blocks right....

Asic are really secure and won't affect the bitcoin network but asic can be affected themselves search up Antbleed. A lower hashrate is not a bad thing but it is worrisome to see how much hashrate is from non asic. Remember Bitmain released asic this year they could of been using Asics to mine before that.
I giving them one week and then restudy this issue.

You know you should be nicer when you say stuff? And second I said asic can be affected. Antbleed was an example. I never said it was in right now. Maybe you need to do more reading. Hmm..
