Thanks for the efforts of the foundation.

I do not think that centralized mining has any benefit to cryptocurrency.

Only hope that ZEC can be more secure.

I wonder what this said. Good urls should be permanent.

Agreed. Some URLs got lost when we migrated the website, and putting in redirects is a manual process.

The original blog post can be found here.

However, as @Autotunafish has pointed out, that blog post was effectively rendered obsolete after the Zcash Community Governance Panel (known today as ZCAP) voted against making ASIC resistance a priority.
