Good point, that was my underlying reasoning while writing the original post. The problem is not ASICs per se, the problem is the fact that virtually no private individual can mine on the network without incurring huge losses. To be honest, I am a bit surprised that core developers do not address this issue (which is a decentralization issue imho) somehow. I mean, one thing is being conservative in what innovations should be implemented and what not. But, this way, we’re all running toward a centralized future I think.
