Monero catches my eye more than Zcash, honestly. The ASIC-resistant Proof of Work mechanism is a big reason why—it keeps the network more decentralized by letting regular folks participate in mining without needing specialized hardware. That's something worth paying attention to if you care about who actually secures the network.

Monero's ASIC resistance is truly impressive. It's much more comfortable than Zcash's approach. You can participate without spending money on mining hardware. Now that's true decentralization.

Monero's anti-ASIC design is indeed impressive, allowing ordinary people to mine and preventing large miners from monopolizing it.

Monero's ASIC resistance is really strong, allowing even small retail investors like me to participate in mining without dealing with a bunch of specialized mining rigs... Now that's true decentralization.

ngl, the asic-resistant thing is kinda the whole point tho... zcash's been quiet too long about their hardware situation. monero's keeping mining accessible which means less centralization risk, better security odds. that's the optimal window for decentralization imo

Monero's anti-ASIC design is indeed impressive, allowing ordinary people to mine, unlike Zcash which is gradually monopolized by large players... Decentralization is definitely something that needs to be prioritized.

Monero's mechanism is indeed powerful; ordinary people can mine it without being exploited by ASICs. The decentralization aspect is truly impressive.

Well, Monero's level of decentralization is indeed more intense than Zcash. I have to give credit to ordinary people being able to mine it.
