>why not possible? Because there aren't enough theoretically proven cryptographically secure hash functions available that don't have ASICs built for. New hash functions appear every now and then, but not fast enough and it'll be possible to predict what Monero will use. You can't roll your own crypto, so this ASIC-resistance method is not scalable. Much like their whole network.
And we're not taking in consideration that BTC with LN, RSK, MAST, Simplicity, Schorr sigs, Mimblewimble, TumbleBit, etc will probably put out of business every currency coin including monero. No one competes with BTC in terms of dev power and funding

Can’t you just fiddle constants or make trivial changes to the algorithm that are unlikely to interfere with its cryptographic properties, while still requiring RTL changes to keep up?
Henry Wood
Lightning Network is an elaborate bait and switch bitcoin maximalists are using to control the narrative that bitcoin segwit can solve every crypto problem. If all of those things you mentioned were so easy to implement then where the fuck are they? Monero is already here and it works for its intended purposes. Fuck off with this thread. Saged.

Monero devs have always maintained that it was never meant to be held and that it was a tool.
Brainlets looking for a moon on this have nobody to blame but themselves. Why even give them the benefit of a post like this?
Do you expect someone who is spewing his bullshit across several threads to know anything about cryptography?
Making it asic proof is as easy as hardcoding slight updates every month. Nothing to do with changing the hash function. You can simply mess with the block size here, core use there, you can even randomize these updates
Mason Foster
This. I don't know what the fuck that guy has been talking about all day.
Owen Morris
pretty much this. XMR is one of the most honest crypto projects that exists, which gives it 0 hype factor so in terms of price it won't go very far. It's price will most likely follow the total crypto market cap.
