Any ASIC tech-savvy people know if this slowing of ASIC advances to an asymptote is likely outcome any time soon?

I've mined bitcoin since CPU was the only way, and mined via GPU the first day it was possible, and partook in FPGA designs and finally have maintained relationships with the major ASIC producers of today.

Currently 14nm designs are being prototyped and will be released within the next two years. Things are certainly reaching a plateau.

Thanks for the info. It puts my mind at ease to know that ultimately, ASIC mining might go full circle back to a practicable 'one processor, one vote' again.

Kevin Dowd was well spoken, but apparently missing out this important decentralisation saving factor was a glaring oversight on his part.
