yes. soon knc will be setting up their own mining farm.
knc already has a private mining farm.
As to the ASIC's Spondoolies-Tech has a 5.4 TH machine in the works due to be ready to ship in August of this year. They also have said they are working on their third generation miner that would have so much TH that other miners will be obsolete.
In war it's a fatal mistake to assume that you are a lot smarter than your enemies. History has proven this over and over.
The commercial world is exactly the same, and arrogance usually gets rewarded with failure and defeat. If the Israelis think they're the only people around that can design efficient asics, then they're in for a rather rude awakening.
5.4 T/H at the end of August will not mean sh*t. It will only generate about 7 bitcoins before becoming obsolete... and how many bitcoins did it take to buy the machine?
