Bitmain E3 for Ethash algo - what is your move being a miner?

[Jbodz83]

Yesterday, Bitmain released their Antminer E3 for ETHASH ALGO.
a lot of speculations and suggestions from ETHEREUM Community suggest to apply Hardfork for a ETHEREUM ASIC-RESISTANT version of PoW.
however, in some of gamers group,they rejoiced as they trust that GPU prices will go down to its original SRP.

a few of my thoughts of having Antminer E3 vs. GPU

Advatanges:
1. Lower Power consumption
2. Cheaper than 6 gpu combined @800USD
3. Rig space allocation would be effecient
4. Cable maintenance

DisAdvantages:
1. Resell
2. Maintenance (as GPU can be disassembled / clean)
3. Usability (Games / Compute mode)
4. Warranty / Replacement of components
5. flexibility to allocate GPU miners to run 2 mining apps for 2 separate coins.

Do you agree on ETHEREUM HARDFORK or just wait for Casper to turn ETH into PoS?

Huli na ang Ethereum para gumawa pa ng remedyo para sa ginawa ng bitmain na E3 miners. Dapat bilisan nilang gawan ng paraan yan. Malamang nyan matagal na ginagamit yan ng Bitmain. Matutulad lang yan sa nangyari sa D3 miners. Kaya sigurado wala na magpapa-uto sa bitmain.

yup, thats true. since first ASIC ng BTC they profit first before they release it to the public.
thou, my good side ako nakikita.. these E3 miners will be jumping to UBIQ and EXPANSE or other ETHASH and it will boost their network support in return. (this is if Vitalik will proceed on CASPER PoS or ASIC Resistant version of ETH)

dami nga naloko jan sa D3..

Sa tingin ko mas maganda talaga mag POS nalang lahat kasi sa POW yung maraming pera lang ang laging lamang.
sa POS lamang parin ang maraming pera pero atleast linear yung lamang nila
Sa POW exponential

Good point. actually Eth community in reddit are requesting na to expedite Casper.
and nag biro si Vitalik na lalagyan ng CAP ang coins upto 120M lang... let see.. in this case.. dapat nang mag bodega ng ETH Classic.. sure everyone that mines Ethereum will jump
to ETC, and ETC might spike soon... maybe..
