fpga now worst than asic.
already became nice doorstepper !

i dunno. fpga will never be best at any particular algo, but its very hard to outright doorstop them. they will always be able to mine some algo or another with a new bitstream, whereas asics are done for good once their particular algo is no longer used.
Yes, but you can already see a looming problem: developers are always going to be tempted to go with the newest/fastest card when rolling out new bitstreams. I am still waiting for my BCU-1525 and I am reading about the CVP-13, which may ship right after I finally get my BCU-1525. I don't see developers working very hard on last year's model of FPGA to add new bitstreams. I'm taking what is posted on the Zetheron site more or less at face value, i.e., you can't easily port your bitstreams between models and different brands.
