Re: DIY FPGA Mining rig for any algorithm with fast ROI

Amen to that. Also BM is in a dangerous position because it is the crypto market leader - going after small cap coins with asics just isn't going to pay the increasingly hefty bills. Meanwhile the really big guys (Samsung for example) could annihilate BM from a technical and purchasing firepower point of view. Interesting times.

They already lost $500 million on chip design. Which apparently is part and parcel for chip design process, but still. They won't be going after any small coin/algo.

...and then they announce pre-orders for a Decred ASIC.

So Decred is small?

It's not huge. And the algo is certainly small, since it's the only coin currently on it, and there are already more efficient miners in production that will hit the market in Nov/Dec. It's a bad call IMO, especially with US customers shying away due to tariffs...
