While I agree that the loss of GPU mining has done a lot of damage to Zcash and it’s hard to argue with that, I also think that absolutely any sudden change of anything is always a very dangerous topic. It’s not like a well-planned strategy, it’s like panicked tossing from side to side as if trying to stop an imminent collapse. That’s why such a crude intervention is always damaging to the image in the first place. This was when the option to change the algorithm to prevent ASICs from developing was abandoned, it will happen now. At first GPU miners received information in popular media that Zcash will resist ASICs and the huge community of miners took this news very positively and enthusiastically. But just a few months later, the exact opposite information was published. I remember it very well. It looked like some kind of backroom deal with the hardware manufacturers. And since GPU miners still haven’t forgiven that decision, believe me I know what I’m talking about, it’s not a fact that we’re can to attract GPU miners today. But the fact is that people who bought ASICs to mine ZECs will be totally pissed off. Plus obviously a 51% attack is going to be very much more likely. I am against such things today, when Zcash’s image needs to be protected more than ever.
