Re: Baikal Giant N - Cryptonight, Cryptonight-lite ASIC miner
Monero POW is changing to CryptoNightV7 in about 15 days, so I don't think you can sell this as a monero miner..
Just saying
That's great news. If these ASICs are real and are being sold, then they've been used for mining for a long time now, and they're only selling them in order to dump them because they'll soon be scrap. And if Monero changes, most/all of the other cryptonight coins will surely follow pretty quickly. I'd like to hope for a revival in cpu/vega mining.Just saying
On the sad side, if these ASICS are real, and their specs are real, then it could be a trivial task for someone to make new ASICs for the new algo. Is it a trivial task?
Trivial or not, it won't make sense financially since Monero will be modifying the algorithm every 6 months. It's not feasible to make an ASIC for that.
AT LEAST every 6 months - they also stated they were willing to do "emergency forks" to kill ASIC mining.
Utterly fantastic. I need to buy more Monero. Fuck you bitmain & baikal.
