Damn rich people, always spoiling everything...  I guess that's why we can't have nice things

Agreed!!!  But then Intel will release their I9!!

Same as all the other new miners Bitmain and others have released.

Only time will tell!!!

It's already happening with the Cryptonight algo, and in July it happens with ETHASH.  Baikal has made inroads into other algos (but not really an ASIC).  I think soon nothing will be ASIC resistant.  Like I said Bitmain has proved now that they can build a miner for ASIC resistant algos.

Why are we arguing about ASICs vs. GPUs in this thread, it's about the Z9, I have 3 on order and can't wait for them to come in so I can fire them up!!

Woo Hoo!!!  Like I said before, I have had GPU rigs, and ASICs.  Problem I have is I like to turn and burn them.  I still have 1 small GPU rig running (4 290X's).  I'm waiting for my X9s to come in.  Run them for a while and flip them.  And yes, I have a collection of doorstops as well.  4 Gridseed blades stacked up on the desk.  They are 5 years old and have ROI'ed many times over.

Once they get them out in mass I agree.

Bitmain, Cannon and the rest build miners for one reason, to make money.  Then again, every company builds things to make money.  None of them have our best interest at heart, they are all in it for the money.

No one has mentioned a group that really wants ASICs to hit the market for all algos, and that is the gamers.  They have been bitching about the prices of GPUs going higher and higher because of miners.

I have been through it all, GPUs, Gridseed blades, Antminers, more GPUs, and on and on.  My son, who is a gamer has been doing nothing but bitching about the high price of GPUs, so he is pro ASIC.

As I said before, it's clear that Bitmain can now produce an ASIC for any algo.  No one is complaining about Baikal miners, why because they are not Bitmain.  But yet they are multi-algo miners.

Just watch, if there is another algo with a high value coin attached to it, there will be an ASIC for it.  Now you have FPGAs coming out that can mine any algo.  What are the pro GPU people going to do then?

Because miners are always looking for a way to make a buck.  If they build them, we will buy!!

They have shown they can build an asic for any algo.  I think none are safe, new also, no problem, new asic.

That's right fuck the people who bought the miners, it would do nothing to BitMain.   Yes, I bought a few units at $800.  Figured what the hell.  But for anyone to wish they become worthless is a very crappy human being.  That would be like me saying I hope every GPU catches on fire and burns every miners house down.  I wouldn't do that, I hope every miner makes money.  You sir are nothing other than a fucktard.

In theory all the Z9's are already running and have been counted in the hashrate.  That's what everyone says, that they have been running for months.  So why are the DEVs getting their panties in a bunch?  When Batch 1 is released it shouldn't raise the hashrate at all correct?  It's batches after that we have to worry about.

Also, if they change the algo, I don't think it will take long for BitMain to release a new miner.  They seem to have building miners for GPU only coins down, and it they don't Baikal will.

Yes, but it's in your wallet.

When Moon?  When Lambo?   

What are you mining with?  A BitMain miner says BLOCK=  ?

This one...  Go back 20-30 pages and catch up

Is never has been a future for this coin, there never will be one either.  Read the post!!

I'm sure the scammer DEVs (who still hold 2 million coins) can't wait to see this on any exchange that will list it!!
