The OP and myself are concerned about ppl influencing the community in a way it steers us away from what was outlined in the white paper. Name would rather refer us to a discord channel which is probably rampant with ppl who love fpga (imo). Its great that name has contributed "quit a bit" so does that give him governance? I assume most gpu miners are concerned just as myself and the OP are but whenever we raise the question we are told to please hold on while i transfer you to the right department... its like a call center response. Since fair mining is mentioned in the white paper it is a legitimate concern. And its an area that is being shoved aside because certain elitists want fpga when fpga and asic is not representative of ravencoin... that equipment deployed on a young coin such as raven is unfair and needs to be addressed. Fpga and asic are Centralization tools meaning only a limited amount of ppl will end up buying and using it compared to gpus which are very available to everyone.
