Bad news about Equihash :

Bitmain launch Equihash ASIC this day. 10 KSol/s consumming only 300W !

What do you think about this ASIC ?

I said that I do not come to promote them, I did not buy ASIC but it is quite clear that this case will pose a huge problem. Much worse than that of the ETH miner of the same company.

Only the Monéro community reacted in opposition to the bitmain ASICS. I simply wish to have your opinion on this issue which may make GPU mining obsolete on this algorithm rather quickly.

At this rate, only Neoscrypt and Cryptonight V7 will remain to be mined via CPU and GPU. Not a good deal for decentralization as a cryptocurrency target.

One rig 22mhX6 for 132MH drawing 680w VS 10Kh @300W is going to be a threat? Where?
Oh and each unit does cost 2K and you can only have one for now. Hmmmmm.

Its equihash not ethash ...

For Ethash there is the Antiminer E3. Price and power consumption is not radically better than a GPU rig with an equivalent hash rate

Absolutely. The comparison with their E3 for ethash does not hold. Electrical consumption for EThash is close to consumption of the GPU Rigs for a price roughly equivalent. In fact the E3 only saves space, so increase the density of mining per square meter.

But with the Z9, it is possible to win on almost every table (yes, we have no information about the noise of this new ASIC). You gain in surface density, in electrical consumption (10,000 / 300 = 33.3Sol / Watt while the GPUs are at 5 Sol / W maximum) and temporal (hash per second).
