Could someone help me understand why it matters that hashing is 2x faster? If everyone were to upgrade the coin inflation rate would still remain the same. Thus there is a “slight” advantage to early adopters. I guess some could say it gives “honest nodes” more time and thus makes it even harder for dishonest nodes to gain an edge.
The #1 aspect if a currency is divisibility and fixed supply and the relative value of the coins will adjust automatically relative to the supply of goods available to buy. So I would think we would want to focus on aspects other than “generation speed” first.
