the thing is, the current pricing is dropping as i predicted a long time ago for asics in general which can only be good for miners. these prices are extraordinary and i myself may have to order more. this is going to keep the network decentralized and solo mining still affordable. once the BTC price starts ascending again, which it will, those asic manufacturers with the most efficient chips are going to cause a shakeout in this industry.
ORLY? You predicted the price of ASICs would drop? The rest of us were thinking that ASIC prices would skyrocket as the difficulty increased exponentially. But you actually seen this coming, huh...
Goofball: Prices falling across the board *neither helps nor hurts decentralization*. That certainly won't make solo mining possible. I like your soothsayin' and prognosticatin' about falling chip prices & such, but you sure can't infer your way out of a paper bag.
