Bitmain is going public and will control every Algo soon. Most cryptos are deciding that forking isn't worth it, [ETH, ETC, SIA, DECRED, ZEN, etc.] Monero seems to be one of the only major projects dodging ASICs. So does 6k justify the ability to mine a fork? I'm not a huge Bitmain fan, but let's face it, they have the market cornered and have the ability to undercut competition and install the latest chips. What happens when the VU13P chip becomes perhaps overtaken by the Stratix 10 next year? Will ONE 6k FPGA ever give customers their ROI? You can get a Z9 mini on Ebay for about $700 with PSU [1 sold at that price 4 days ago], and net about $5-7/day overclocked. In addition, ASICs are plug-and-play, has anyone read through the PDF on the downloads page to get these FPGA's up and running???
