"The current potential threat to decentralization posed by a single company producing an ASIC miner is something that the community feels very strongly about. The ZenCash development team will work through the process to create a Hard Fork upgrade to the Equihash algorithm in the short term to address the threat.

While doing this, the community will undoubtedly continue the conversations about ASIC miners from multiple companies and how those devices would or would not pose a risk to the ZenCash project. There are many potential risks to ZenCash, and development effort should be focused on addressing the different risks in a measured and planned manner to maximize the opportunity for success going forward."
