20:02:55 <garth> 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
20:05:19 <moneromooo> Such transparent manipulation :D
20:47:37 <garth> Moneromooo: ?
20:51:55 <moneromooo> Presenting your favoured option as having "courage", ie presenting the other option as cowards.
20:52:04 <moneromooo> Appeal to... something.
23:07:03 <garth> 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
23:07:03 <garth> 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.
23:08:12 <garth> 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
23:09:58 <garth> Also I’m not saying that RandomX has failed. I’m just hypothesizing to what such a failure would entail
23:47:17 <nikg83[m]> If it fails then we might go to asic
