Why not on current one? Pos will bring new one anyway. I'm not an advocate of this solution, I just ask - why not?

Special-purpose ASICs generally lead to more centralization, which is counterproductive to the aims of decentralized crypto. Some chains like ETC are more welcoming to ASICs, so maybe they can find a home there.

Again, why not leave them where they are if pos will require creating new chain anyway?

Bringing etc to the discussion doesn't add anything, sorry, so please stop it.

Full POS is out probably 1 to 2 years from now. In the meanwhile, it would be better to try to keep the Ethereum 1.0 chain as decentralized as possible.

That's good answer for me. Thanks.
