This makes me think, that the potential tariff's by Trump could really make mining hardware way more expensive. I haven't been paying attention much in the last year, but whatever happened to the Intel SHA256 chips? I assume that other major upheavals within Intel overshadowed their SHA256 efforts and it all just got discarded.
Although intel is gone for now it does seem bitmain will build gear in the usa to beat the trump tax.
Haggsfinn posted about it on my other thread.
Phil, I came from my 'hiatus' to say that I noticed via a LinkedIn post that Bitmain is going to manufacture the S21 in the US. Any thoughts on that?
