I'll ask you one more time, for the sake of charity.
What evidence is there that there is a SHA-256 top tier miner being released, to rival the S9?
I won't be making any more posts in response to your good self in this topic anymore.
Hypothetical situation, or is it?
"Hi I'm a pool operator for a mining pool who has been asked by MORE THAN ONE ASIC PRODUCER, to specifically add code for a new, unreleased miner." Now why on earth would anyone do that BEFORE a new miner is produced/released?
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMMMMMMMMMM.
Houston, we have a problem.
