They apparently believe the unsupported claims by Marvel2 about the majority of existing ETH hashrate being ASIC, despite all the evidence against those claims and ZERO supporting evidence.

how is this unsupported, we saw the same pattern with monero, huge exeplained jumps in difficulty when gpus were in short supply. Monero forks snd poof 60 % of the hashrate disspears lol.

Eth is older and the jumps happpen far earlier, Ive been mining since 2013 and I saw all these jumps first hand , the biggest one around june or oct of last year (id have to look at the chart) gpus had been out of stock since febuary and all of a sudden we go from around 90th to 120 then 150 then 180th, basically jumps of 30 th a month in a time of gpu
not being available.

Gimme a break if you all cant read the pattern or have your heads in the sand or what i font know.

and now Shitmain magically lists a new E3 miner forcsale in massive amounts , this from a company we already know
mines with thier gear for at least a year before selling these old model chips to you idiot peons?

Maybe I shouls start a detective agency or something becuase it seems Im one of the few who cam put a simple two and two together ... thats four right? lol

Monero(Cryptonight) can't be compared to ethash, as the algorithms are very different. If you are actually interested in understanding ethash (& equihash) look at my posting history as I've analyzed both in-depth as well as done a lot of kernel coding. Ethash also doesn't have botnets like Monero, which is likely where much of the hashrate drop came from after the fork.

You're basically doing a better job proving yourself wrong. GPUs have been back-ordered due to high demand from mining; AMD can't ramp up production fast enough to keep up with demand.
