On the other hand, it's exasperating to see all the circular analysis paralysis from the core devs regarding ProgPoW. The mandate is clearly there from both the miners and investors who have opinions. There's no need to continue waffling over doing more benchmarks and gauging of sentiment. The community wants this upgrade, so all the devs need to do is facilitate funding of an open source miner and an audit that's focused simply on whether the algorithm works acceptably and verifies that it doesn't open any security holes. Anything more than that is out of scope and represents unnecessary delay.
The beacon chain updates are pretty exciting!
