区块链神吐槽致各位加密货币社区的伙伴们
To all friends in cryptocurrency community
大家好，我是PZ，是一名早期的比特币布道者，一名区块链生态的建设者。
大家对我的了解，大多是因为我对区块链行业生态发展的坚守与努力。在过去几年的时间里，我因为看到比特币和莱特币因为不同的理念，导致社区长期分裂，主链的发展无法向前推进，所以我在2017年组织了莱特币国际圆桌论坛和比特币国际圆桌论坛，两次的会议非常成功，莱特币、比特币也都顺利进行了主链的升级。
Hello, everyone! I'm PZ, an early Bitcoin evangelist and blockchain eco builder. Most of you know me because of my efforts and adherence to the ecological development of blockchain industry. In the past few years, I saw Bitcoin community and Litecoin community both fell apart for long time due to different ideas , and the development of main chains was unable to move forward. So I organized Litecoin International Round Table Forum and Bitcoin International Round Table Forum in 2017. The two meetings were very successful. The upgrade of Litecoin and Bitcoin also went on successfully.
近期，我们团队注意到全球最大的匿名货币门罗币即将改变pow算法，并计划一年内再改变两次算法。众所周知，这次改变算法的官方原因是因为有多家公司（比特大陆、PinIdea等）开发出了针对门罗算法的专业矿机。
Recently, our team noticed that XMR (Monero), the world’s largest anonymous currency, is about to change the PoW algorithm, and plans to further change it twice within 1 year. As we all know, the reason for this algorithm change is that many companies (BITMAIN, PinIdea, etc.) have developed specialized mining machines for Monero.
其实，一种加密货币出现专业矿机是一种正常的市场经济行为。在加密货币社区诞生的近十年里，我们看到比特币诞生了专业的矿机，随后诞生了期望能抵抗专业ASIC矿机的莱特币，其采用了当时被认为可以“抗ASIC”专业矿机的scrypt算法，但是仅仅在两年之后，就出现了专业的莱特币矿机。我们曾经考虑过是否要修改莱特的算法，以抵抗专业ASIC矿机的出现。但是经过我们审慎、严肃的讨论之后，我们认为对于任何一种有价值的算法，专业矿机的出现都只是一个时间的问题，最后我们做出了自己的选择，接受专业矿机的存在。现在越来越多价值较高的币种（算法），都诞生了专业的ASIC矿机，这已经成为了行业中很常见的现象。
Actually, the emergence of specialized mining machine for a cryptocurrency is normal market economy phenomenon. In the 10 years since the cryptocurrency community was born, we have seen the birth of specialized mining machine for Bitcoin. Then there emerged Litecoin, which was expected to be against specialized ASIC mining machines, using script algorithm which was considered to be"against ASIC" at that time. While after only two years, there appeared specialized mining machine for Litecoin. We considered about whether to change algorithm to be against specialized ASIC mining machines or not. However, after prudent and serious discussion, we believe that for any kind of valuable algorithm, the emergence of mining machine is only a matter of time. Finally, we made our choice to accept the existence of professional mining machines. Now more and more high-value currencies (algorithms) have respondent specialized ASIC mining machines, which has become a common phenomenon in the industry.
那么专业矿机的存在就完全是一无是处的吗？显然，这种论调是绝对不公平的。专业矿机的出现，确实会加速算力中心化等种种问题的出现，但是请大家也不要忘记，专业矿机的出现，也会极大的提高了网络的安全性。如果有专业矿机的存在，那么就可以避免类似“门罗币曾被 50 多万台僵尸网络攻击”的事件发生。
Is the existence of specialized mining machines completely useless? Obviously, this argument is unfair. The emergence of specialized mining machines will indeed accelerate the rise of problems such as centralization of computational power. But we should be reminded the fact that emergence of professional mining machines will also greatly improve network security. If there are professional mining machines, the events like “Monero was attacked by more than 500,000 botnets” could be avoided.
我们理解门罗团队期望维护门罗币“去ASIC专业矿机”的期望和工作。长久以来，因为门罗团队出色的工作，门罗币及其社区获得了极大的发展，为整个加密货币社区提供了很多非常有价值的贡献。在社区中，很多人都很赞同这次改变算法的硬分叉工作，不过，我觉得，还有一部分希望保持原有算法，并接纳矿机存在的人们的意愿，应该得到尊重。
We understand that Monero team expects to stick to the expectations and work of Monero's “against ASIC mining machine”. For a long time, due to the excellent work of Monero team, XMR and its community have achieved great development, providing much valuable contributions to the entire cryptocurrency community. In the community, many people agree with this hard fork of changing algorithms. However, I feel that there is still a part of people who want to maintain the original algorithm and accept the existence of mining machines. They should be heard and respected.
我们认为“拥抱专业ASIC矿机”和“去专业ASIC矿机”这两种思路，各有长短，均有其可取之处。目前全球加密货币生态的蓬勃发展正是由于不同人们的各种创想涌现，不同思想碰撞激荡带来了多种数字货币的百花齐放。我们一贯认为，加密货币社区的生态多样性，是非常有利于诞生一个更加安全、稳定、繁荣、美丽的加密世界。我们可以，而且应该让这些秉承不同思想的少部分人，获得与多数派平等的展现机会，自由的市场会做出自己的选择。
We believe that the two ideas of "embrace ASIC mining machines" and "against ASIC mining machines" both have their own strengths and weakness. At present, the vigorous development of the global cryptocurrency ecology is precisely due to the emergence of various ideas of different people. The collision of different ideas has brought out the flourishing of various digital currencies. We always believe that the ecological diversity of cryptocurrency community is much conducive to the birth of a more secure, stable, prosperous and beautiful encrypted world. We can, and should, allow these minority of people, who are adhering to a different idea, be given equal opportunities with the majority, and the free market will make its own choices.
所以，我们认为这两种发展思路都应该得到平等的发展机会，我们将投入力量去维护本次算法修改前的门罗系统，从而保留让生态具备更多发展潜力的火种。同时，我们也邀请各位开发、矿机生产商、交易平台、矿工、钱包等生态链的朋友加入我们，让网络生态更具有无限可能！
Therefore, we believe that these two thoughts should be given equal opportunities for development. We will make our best efforts to maintain the Monero system before this algorithm change, thereby preserving the fire that gives the ecology more potential for development. At the same time, we also invite developers, mining machine manufacturers, trading platforms, miners, purses, and others in this ecological chain to join us, so that the network ecology can gain more possibilities!

我们将与合作伙伴一起，继续维护门罗原链的安全与发展。
We will work with our partners, continue to maintain the security and development of the original Monero chain.
Menero Classic (XMC)
第一个给大家介绍的是Monero Classic，它是由一个自称为来自新加坡的门罗币狂热者团体发起的，这一团体成员包括开发人员和“少数”矿工——他们认为是时候采取行动了。该团体的代表Bento Tan在接受Bitcoin Magazine采访时表示表示，他相信ASICs的发展是一个健康的、市场驱动的过程。
在项目网站上，Monero-Classic背后的推动人员将自己称为“PZ，一个早期的比特币传播者和区块链生态系统的创建者”。
Monero 0(XMZ)
在接受Bitcoin Magazine采访时，Monero 0的一位匿名发言人将该组织认定为“关注用户”和“工作量证明的坚定拥护者”，其中改组这的一些成员从事挖矿的业余活动。
Monero Original(XMO)
关于Monero Original及其背后的团队，我们所知并不多。
该项目有一个GitHub，并且该项目团队把新闻稿发给了几个媒体。他们所发出的新闻稿没有包含太多的信息，但它确实包含了“Monero Original团队的首席开发者”的声明:
“门罗一直以来都是关于选择的自由，关于多样性以及它背后的强大社区。我们提供给门罗的粉丝以支持这枚标志性的硬币，并保留其在原来链上的可能性。Monero Original的团队代表多样性，这是进化的逻辑性标识。我们很高兴看到我们最喜欢的硬币的成熟，我们更愿意帮助其保持这种多样性。”
