Do You think that we are going to see the miner done ?

When I was given the chance to be refunded last month I took the refund.

I was afraid of no software support.



Sad so sad.

You said word for word what I did and thought/think

I think that was foolish, especially at the acorns low price. The I understand the $5000+ ones but those are more general bitstreams. The early bird gets the worm in the world of mining and Philip knows this, a few hundred is a low risk for an fpga that can easily be reprogramed to new algorithms.

Acorn does not "have a low price". It is currently at least 50% more expensive than RX580 and will not earn more (even with the low power usage) than this GPU. GPUs can be sold and I have my doubts about Acorn. I am done with GPU mining and mentally out of mining all together. I do not believe in this illusive big rebound of crypto. There will be more and more POS coins and centralization will creep in.
