Looks like #Bitcoin is switching PoW algorithms to BLAKE2b-256, basically Siacoin miners. Get some if you wanna contribute to its decentralization & security! Secondhand units are cheap right now. It's my understanding that any variant of BLAKE2b-256 ASIC will work, you just might have to tweak the config files for the ASIC when a guide is released. You can keep your SHA-256 hashers to mine (and sell) Fedcoin of course, or to try to continue the fight to decentralize Fedcoin, not sure how well that'll work out but I support you in your endeavours! If there is a movement to continue mining BIP-110, that would be awesome too, honestly that would be my preferred solution. Quite a pickle we cypherpunks are in. Oh well. Onward 🫡
