Keep in mind that there are possible ASICS for ethash already for Q1, and even if ETH goes POS, ETC and other ethash coins will be only ASICS and if that happens only Equihash coins will be minable for a time and I have a word that there is already an ASIC in development for Equihash already and will start delivering in Q4 2018. As GPU mining keep gets scarce, other popular coins will have pumps and so ASICS will be born for them.
anyone whom believes there are or will be asic's for Ethash is a dumb fool, there will NEVER be asics for that algo or any other asic resistant algo. there called that for a reason, so if you caught word of there being such devices why don't you share the source otherwise you are just blowing smoke up everyones ass. SHOW US THE PROOF that there is going to be an asic for equihash and or ethash
Yes, there's no ASIC for ethash and equihash... it's purely rumored, the purpose of it may be to create FUD among GPU miners. Contrary to OP's subject, Re: GPU mining will die in 2018!, I'm 1M% certain it will never die this 2018 and beyond. I think OP is referring to this
thread in which he's 3 comments/posts.
Also, it's good to note that Nvidia is going to release
New Card Good for Mining Ethash Coins, so if it's true (and not just pure FUD) that GPU mining will die in 2018, then Nvidia will never launch and/or manufacture dedicated mining graphics cards as these would be useless.
