I guess we're agreeing then. IMO the current bitcoin economy is not anywhere near the size and the future way too uncertain to have anyone blow the money required on the NRE of designing a real ASIC at a competitive structure size. But who knows.
DEFXOR, IF YOU'RE AROUND, PLEASE READ THIS A FEW MILLION TIMES.
Why? You've still been wrong on everything you claim and you still haven't produced any calculations of value for the rest of us
You're not saved by the ASIC/sASIC/ASIC(EasyPath FPGA)/FPGA distinctions either. To remind you:
There is no FPGA/ASIC uptake, you're just fucking stupid.
And anyone that believes FPGAs will ever be cost effective for mining is deluded.
Anyone who believes there will ever be a Bitcoin ASIC is simply fucking retarded.
Anyone who believes there will ever be a Bitcoin ASIC is simply fucking retarded.
I'd really like for you to start showing us some calculations. I've done with BTC at $8 and $4 respectively.
You fucking idiot.
ArtForz himself, the man who supposedly spend a shitload of his own cash, to pursue as close to an ASIC as he could get (the sASIC he mentioned) doesn't believe ASICs are viable...
I'm not posting calculations! They would be a waste of my time, as anyone with any fucking common sense already knows these things!
