At-home mining began to fade away at the end of last year, there is now no point whatsoever in building small rigs for home use; difficulty dictates what we can and cannot mine - there will always be business ideas which are good-at-heart but completely clueless-in-reality.

The Novello chip specs were great and if this endeavour had been genuine, the company would have had no problem whatsoever in getting funds to T/O, and also could have brought it all to market in a very short space of time.

Sometimes it's just not meant to be, eh Olivia?

Yeah it's been moving toward DC based rigs for a while, it's a shame as it will end up alienating a lot of the mining community, ah well all good things come to an end.

I don't see it as an end whatsoever, without going into specific services, there are cloud hashing outfits and other community-share mines out there that we can still be a part of and contribute to. Just because it's becoming more and more difficult to host rigs at home, shouldn't mean we should stop mining. I'm of the mind; eggs in lots of baskets makes ample chicken soup. Grin

Perhaps if Novello swallow their pride and see the bigger picture (if they can achieve that chip spec) it could become a collaborative endeavour, rather than one which puts all the risk on the little guys n gals. I don't see any problem with doing it that way - perhaps greed was the initial motive?
