we actually did it and the team is moving forward with the fork. honestly i never expected this amount of support when i started this but you all showed up. keep an eye on the repository because the real work of implementing these changes is just starting now.

On January 16, 2018, the Sia community received surprising news: Bitmain announced a Blake2b ASIC miner. Sales immediately commenced, with a shipment soon to follow. Since the announcement was made in the middle of the night US-time (GMT -5/-8), millions of dollars of mining hardware were already sold before the Sia dev team or community knew of it.
We want Nebulous Inc. to implement a soft-fork later in the coming months as we believe that a preemptive defensive move is necessary to protect the network.
All of Sia’s community members believe in Sia’s core function: becoming a decentralized, permissionless storage solution that functions as a protocol enabling efficiencies in data storage and distribution across the globe. Everyone in the community is in it for the long haul, and we want to see this vision become a reality.
We encourage you to read our open letter in its entirety before signing:

This is total garbage. They came out of nowhere at 2am and sold millions before anyone could react. Do the right thing and fork it.
ASICS are the death of decentralization. stop this before it goes too far.
was really hoping for a better outcome but this bitmain thing is a joke. seriously nebalous needs to step up or the community is gonna bail.
Fork it now. We cant let them just walk all over the network like this.
Defensive fork needed ASAP. Dont let them ruin the project.
