Title: ASIC endgame still very far away! Post by: User705 on August 16, 2014, 09:55:35 PM "Old" KNC chips available at 15 cents per GH with tiny MOQ. Which means their regular chips are even cheaper. With current ASIC prices about $1 per GH the ASIC endgame appears to still be ways away.

You also need power efficiency for the assembled rigs.Title: Re: ASIC endgame still very far away!

Depends on when those chips are installed into miners and go into production. At the current rate of difficulty increases, a miner going into production today produces twice as many BTC as one going into production in 52 days on October 7. For this reason, a lot of expect that rate to slow down - but it has not slowed down yet.http://i59.tinypic.com/2vmzupx.jpg |
