Re: [Antminer S1 Sales open] Price changes daily, now 0.434 BTC for 180GH/s
i'd like to bring ya'lls attention to something else here...
we have gone from 130nm to 60 to 55 to 40 to 28 in how much time? just a year?
next up is 22 nm which is already in the works. what's after that?
what size are the big gorillas on (and not even ASICs) here's some idea: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-cpu-processor-5nm,17578.html
why care about where big boys are? well, they tend to have an effect on what foundries are available for a specific nm size!!!
so by the end of this yr, Bitcoin ASICs may actually drive the nm size further down, and not the usual suspects (Intel, AMD)!??
I will make a bold prediction here that Bitcoin will begin (maybe accelerate is more appropriate of a word) anothor revolution wrt ICs and new technologies to base mining as well as other chips on...
damn these are exciting times we live in

Sometimes I wonder if there is the beyond asic tech just around the corner.
I can see seasonal mining catching on. s-1's could be a nice nov to april piece of gear.
My last three are due on thur-fri. I may just keep them in a box for now. use them in the fall. but then again coins are drifting up. I would love to see an extended slow rally beyond the 2k a coin. go up 100 usd a week for 16 weeks would be very nice.
