Will there be such a thing as new ASIC miners? Will people who have never mined before want to invest money in ASIC? When GPU mining was profitable, anyone could do it, people got interested and upgraded. I think the advent of ASIC makes it a niche sport now.
Why??
Its gonne be even easier dude!!!!!!!!!!!!! No high end PC or vid cards to buy & maintain.No issues with vid drivers,OC'in,drawing too much current from your PSU OR your outlet.
ANYONE can buy one & hook up a USB cable,DL the miner software,join a pool & boom your mining on an old P.O.S. PC..............
Hell,my mom is 72 years old & she could do it
This is true, however, I anticipate that after ASIC's are about and hashing publicly, the difficulty will rise so high that owning a Jalepeno will be like using a X750 or X770 ATi card.
I agree
But,like with GPU's now,you still need a specific amount of hashing power to make anything (around 3gh/s seems to be ok for me now).
So,maybe 30-90 gh/s in the future to make what I'm making now.We won't know until feb-march when the ASIC's saturate the mining market.
+ the price of BTC should go up a bit after the halving.How much?? Only time will tell............gonna be interesting to watch at any rate
