holy cow that was 3 years ago

new ASICs to brick?

it might be possible to combine tevador/RandomX #265 with some changes to the VM as a precautionary measure

It's only rumors now. But yep, if we're changing PoW already, might as well change something in the VM. For example, modern CPUs (Zen4) have higher compute/memory latency ratio, so we can make RandomX programs longer without hurting hashrate

ermagerd ppl gonna go apeshit if were talking about a PoW fork again. "bUt mUh eCoSyStEm iS sO cOmPleX"

PoW will fork anyway to get the verification benefits tevador proposed
