Yep exactly.  Embracing ASICs is the worst possible move DOGE can make.  DOGE is supposed to be a fun, newbie friendly, tipping coin - specifically targeted at people that are new to crypto and excited at the chance to mine a few thousand coins on their laptops and gaming gpus.  All these people over onr/dogecoin spreading fear about a simple hard fork are either retarded/uninformed or are invested heavily into ASICs (more likely the ladder).  Oh well, in the end it will probably be great for DRK, because there will be throngs of GPU miners looking for somewhere to go, and this will coincide with the dead heat of the summer in the northern hemisphere (making x11 the obvious winner).  More DRK miners = lower supply = higher DRK price.  I started mining DOGE on day 1 and really like their community so it is kinda bitter sweet tbh. :/

is the 1000drk requirement already fixed or still open for discussion?

I think 1000 could be too much especially as we'll hit 10$ per coin soon

I am not an expert but the DRK graph in Cryptsy, looks like its forming a cup with a handle. Get ready for takeoff.

I am an expert, can confirm.  Cup + handle = moon

yeah I know, but it also helps to secure the network if there are a lot of nodes!

Still going to say MORE MASTERNODES please. The network should stand out making it impossible to duplicate down the road for any cloners.

I purchased some too at this level. Let's hope it will be a good long-term investment.
