Title: Where next for Bitcoin ASIC designs?
Post by: davejh on March 24, 2014, 02:27:22 AM
I've been giving Bitcoin mining a lot of thought for a few months. I couldn't find a good description of why the current generation ASICs will be so much faster than previous ones or where things might go next so I wrote an article about it (perhaps I've missed one though, in which case I'd appreciate any pointers).

Hope this might be of interest to other people: http://hashingit.com/9-where-next-for-bitcoin-mining-asics (http://hashingit.com/9-where-next-for-bitcoin-mining-asics)
