I notice that last years a lot of new companies start appearing and offering ASIC miners for different algorithms. I started wondering how it's possible so many companies to came with products ready for the market in so short time.
It's not clear from most manufacturers webpages if they are using there own developed ASIC chips or rebranded from some main patent holder.

I would like to know if anyone has any information on mining equipment companies who have developed their own chips, or are buying them from somewhere in order to make a list that might give more light in the tunnel.

Companies with own chip development:

• Bitmain - EtHash, SHA256, Scrypt, X11, EquiHash 
• Canaan (Avalon Made) - SHA256

I have e cheap electricity in east Europe near to free with new PV Farm subsidized from the government. If you are interested let's me know. We may think about some join venture.

I hope can see some exchange, because without that this coin will be dead very soon. Otherwise I like the Idea and hope the dev team take the right road.

I'm using AikaPool.

Mine, what you can. The price will go down unless something magical did not happen.

This pool will pay you for last 3000 shares. Little rigs like 6x580 will have no chance to get good reward. There is big farms or cloud miners that get most of the reward. Just for information before 24h. I got 3 dbix with 1 gh/s for about 2 hours. Now i can't even get 0.5. No point to mine in this pool. IDK why so many ppl still mining there. Better try other pool.

Try RX 560
15+Mh/s

Poloniex has problems with ETC. Just forgot for this coins and move to safe wallet.

I just buy 4x Gigabyte Rx 560 4gb. They are not bad at all. With bios mod 13.7-14mh/s per card with 75w. Stock they are 12-12.3mh/s. The only problem is that they need more space. I think can reduce the power consuption up to 40-45w, but I will try this later. If Asrock start seling there new mobo with 13 slots this alternative can make more hashrate then 6xrx580, but new nvidia cards are on the front door and after some days it seams pointless to buy this cards, just because 14mh/s is the max and you need more slots. IF the new Gp106-100 can take up to 30mh/s will be the best gpu ever for mining.

Someone else with new registration problems?

RX 560 is just half the rx 570. Half the price, half mining performance, half power consumption. I believe 2 of this cards are equal to rx 570.
Yes you need to take 12 cards to make hashrate like 6x570/580, but when you can't fiend cards this is much better alternative then nvidia. Besides when the new asrock mobo with 13 slots arive you can save from cpu,ram and ssd.
