@ stubo hard to write perfectly clear. they won't stop sales but they will slow them a lot. with gaps of time between sales.
remember the workers are in china so they may be laid off and on at the companies will.
As for rival companies GMO is the only new one and they have done everything wrong so far.
Here is their newest mistake

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7TLP3MRS8AA YouTube interview with GPUHoarder that I think is worth watching on the general topic of FPGA's.
Disclaimer: I think Seth suffers from ADD and his ego has yet to realize that he is not the "content." He winks, he grins, he interjects topics to show off his own knowledge -- in other words, he doesn't conduct a very good interview. The crypto space desperately needs an interviewer who can get to the point, ask questions, and keep the spotlight on the person being interviewed. But I digress. Seth is a 'shallowist' whose reach truly exceeds his grasp. Which is okay, he just needs to keep his ego in check more. Maybe he'll eventually figure that out.
Anyone who thinks the GPUHoarder/Senseless FPGA, FPGAland.com, endeavor is a scam will be proven wrong.
Happy 4th everyone!
I don't think GPUHoarder,Ohgoditsagirl,KJS are scammers.
Drawfminer was a scammer.
I think moving to fpga's is a losing move.
I think moving to asics is a losing move.
I think the fail was in the coin developers not the gear builders (other then nvidia making mining cards)
My issue with fpga is it is worthless for resale as are asics.
fpga is worse then an asic as it will be replaced by better gear.
gpus were and are all over the world and earn money. millions of people have them maybe more like 100's of millions killing this widespread base off is a lower move
My 1080tis still earn 1.75 usd a day and burn 5kwatts or 90 cents which = 85 cent pure profit and since the cards are paid off and have 27 months on warranty.
I simply can't justify fpgas for lots of us.
Although I would love to have a 16 fpga beast from KJS

Devs failed by not adjusting the algo or coming up with better algos.
