Everyone can afford a GPU, not many can afford 2k+ for asic.
With the K16 project its not going to be necessary to drop 2k for ASIC. At current chip prices its closer to $300 for 4.5GH/s. Cheap enough for DIY to still exist but GPUs will quickly become useless.
is that the same as the asicgigahash project based in the uk? can i trust them enough to make a pre-order if it is?
even 4.5GH/s will be next to nothing at the rate things are going, would still need a few!
