I don’t see why the Foundation would be in a position to make a public statement about not changing the PoW or retaining Equihash (200,9), when they have only just started their work.
- Research into ASIC mining by authors of the Equihash algorithm was published just over a week ago.
- The ASIC resistance ballot was opened up for voting only yesterday.
- Grant proposals reveal that “the Foundation itself doesn’t have personnel” to review a proposed ASIC-resistant PoW.
Also, how would Innosilicon “get them” to make a public commitment?
The business fortunes of Innosilicon, or any other hardware manufacturer, fall outside the purview of the Foundation’s mission.
