Looks like the "dragon" that they want to slay is not BTC, but a competing mining company.

Is Jihan shitting his pants?

Looks like a scam desu.

it's basically the same price and efficiency, and it's not presently shipping, and it looks almost exactly the same. Meaning it may well be just a hoax, period.

Even in the event that it's not, why would these miners want to prop up a failing strategy anymore than any other miners? This entire thing was never about politics, it was about overthrowing an obviously idiotic strategy. Anyone who can do the simple math and isn't beholden to Blockstream's business plan will come to the same conclusion.

Yeah, some other manufacturer of ASICs of which I am a major purchaser enters the market and improves my margins by providing a potentially superior product. How terrifying.

I'll still mine the most profitable chain, and it still won't be the one with idiotic rules, and everyone else with half a brain will do the same.

But whatever man, have fun.

Why does this matter? Won't all miners move to this slowly if it's good? How does this have anything to do with the DAA coming up for BTC? Someone walk me through how this is negative for EITHER coin?

Operation dragonslayer is a last ditch attempt to steal the Bitcoin brand before Jihan Wu loses his chip monopoly.

If after all these years you still haven't actually figured out you're being deceived, you are literally retarded and deserve to go broke. I sincerely hope that this is it. Please short BCH and long BTC by all means.

It's simply not. Better provision of proof of work is a net positive for the entire system, period. Either this is legitimate in which case great, or it's not in which case so what, Japanese zaibatsus are gearing up to run SHA256 ASICS all the same. It was never going to be just a single legitimate supplier.

I thought it was Jihan's people doing the dragonslayer shit?

I read about some unknown miner who suddenly had 10% of the mining hashrate, and nobody knew who, but they thought it might be the japanese testing their new shit.
Could they suddenly take 50%+ of bitcoin hashpower?
