I certainly hope it’s not a hardware generated nonce pattern like last time. But if it is then I hope our community has the courage to switch to SHA3

Such transparent manipulation :D

Moneromooo: ?

Presenting your favoured option as having "courage", ie presenting the other option as cowards.

Appeal to... something.

Fair enough. As has been talked about a great deal before, and by people much smarter than me, a failure to produce an ASIC resistant PoW means our only option is to embrace as decentralized an ASIC-friendly algo as possible, with SHA3 floated the most often as a good option. But there *is* such a thing as courage involved with this switch! Human beings are not robots who just do what is the mo

st logical. Switching the PoW to an ASIC friendly alternative involves humility in admitting our previous (valiant) efforts with RandomX failed, and involves courage to make a massive switch to the entire apparatus that secures Moneros consensus.

I love Tevador. I love RandomX. I don’t want this thing to fail. But I do believe there is courage needed in responding to that failure and I would ask that encouraging such courage not be branded as manipulation

Also I’m not saying that RandomX has failed. I’m just hypothesizing to what such a failure would entail

If it fails then we might go to asic
