Concerning FPGA's Will it be ridiculously expensive to use? I'm understanding that you need an ASIC for each algo (16 different ASICs) and then the FPGA to control them. Only one ASIC would be used at a time wasting 15 other ASICs.
Hopefully nobody's stupid enough to try such thing. I don't even need to mention that using them separately would be more profitable and even if someone does it, devs will just make a modification on the algo and ruin his whole setup so It won't be an issue as far as I see.
