If you check the home page, the list of top miners, there are many such miners with exactly the same hash powers.

Moreover a couple of them were found with multiple 26 GH/s workers. This makes me believe about the possibility of multiple ASIC miners.

Doubtful there are ASICS. Likely there are FPGA arrays crunching away, but ASICs wouldn't be able to have this much silence if they existed yet.

There are a few server builders out there and last I checked Bitworks has a ~130 MH/s ETH rig in a 4U server chassis. 20 of those to a single address and bam you got 26 GH/s. Wouldn't doubt it might be Bitworks themselves using that pool for burn in too...

Who knows... but ASICs aren't a concern yet, and they can be dealt with in these coins.

I agree maybe is not asic. But with the future everyone is counting on with eth I have no doubt that it's in the works. Also @130 mhs it would take over 200 of the 4u eth miners. Now that's not unheard of by any means. When I look at the coins that have any potential I see asics. Heck take dash for example. They knew it would be hard to make asic but they were realistic and knew given enough time that asic will be made. https://web.archive.org/web/20170518222008/https://www.dash.org/x11/ Atm dash has 15ghs miner. They aren't one bit worried about changing the algo to keep it gpu friendly. The game of gpu fpga asic is really getting old. Almost predictable. If a guy was smart he would make asic for a coin 1st then sell it as Gpu only. Hehe. I'm sure we already have that going on. If there is an easier way to make money someone here has definitely found it😉
