The ASIC-manufacturer will feel and deserve the backlash. Make it poof.

minus-squareGiffbro@monero.townlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoPeople view centralization of mining power as a threat.
minus-squareIP2@monero.townlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-210 months agoI get that. What I don’t get is how these would help centralize power given they mine at the same efficiency (at best) as everything else.
