Looks like Bitmain came out with asics for sia, do you think its possible they have or soon will have asics for Decred since the algos are similar?
very likely they surely don't lack of expertise for doing that could be the foruth competitor after oblisk, dcrasic and baikal.
It's not over until it's over....

We prepared for something like this by adding an extra feature to the SC1. We can do a soft-fork that slightly changes the PoW algorithm which would invalidate the bitmain ASICs, but allow the SC1 units to continue working.
Let the games begin!
I stumbled upon this on another thread. This adds an unexpected layer of politics to the matter.
