Has there been an asic where batch 1 didn't pay itself off in a reasonable amount of time?

Even the D3s paid themselves off fairly quickly, just not batches 4-5-6...

Easy, just take a look at the Cryptonight ASICs. They in no way paid for themselves since the Monero team was quick to fork.

I hope you seriously don't encourage people to buy these ASICs. They are not what cryptocurrencies were invented for. ASICs turn crypto into a simplistic money making scam.

Most cryptos are money making scams. 0 cares given as long as I make money.

Exactly. This is why people who haven't invested in crypto see us in a bad light. They say its a bubble and all that because what they see is companies like Bitmain or Coinbase or companies who only care about making a quick buck.

If we are able to suppress companies like these with more decentralized services we will soon see the true value of crypto.

How is that different from GPUs and Nvidia. How is that different from one person buying 1000x 1080ti vs little timmy who can only buy 2.

Nvidia GPU are gaming focused and they dont want you to buy them for mining. Bitmains goal is the success and health of Cryptos.

If you don't buy a z9 then it's your fault. Do you think Rolfe with multiple antminer farms is going to fork ZenCash? Zooko was smart to premine and working with bitmain.
