[2018-02-12]Bitmain To Release Ethereum ASIC Miner F3 With 72Gb DDR3 Dram In Q2

[jimmykl]

does that mean we can use these asic for gaming somehow? O.o

no

[wtfonly16]

everyone beliving this clown but dint belive me back then???

rofl i told you. and no one listened.

what clown do you mean, Bitmain?

Didn't Vitalik say that ETH  POS  will be not soon?   “timeline is likely 3 to 5 years”

What would be the hashrate of this machine?

So when is eth moving to cryptonight ?

[Kprawn]

You know IF this is true, it might be the end of Ethereum. The only thing keeping Ethereum going at the moment, is miners

that are mining Ethereum with GPU's. {These guys cannot mine BTC, so they settled for Ethereum.} The fact that there are

so many GPU miners, mining Ethereum, indirectly created a network of Ethereum users. Bye Bye Ethereum, Hallo

centralization.

That's a bad news . They found a way how to utilize all unsold DDR3 supply ! With this upcoming difficulty pump the profit will drop down dramatically , but also I expect that after it we will see a significant increasing of eth price in a few months .
Also , seems like Ethereum have a some kind of ASIC "resistance" .

However, one notably interesting feature of this algorithm is that it allows anyone to "poison the well", by introducing a large number of contracts into the blockchain specifically designed to stymie certain ASICs.

I'm not sure will it work or not , but there is still some hope

650MH/s  @  750Watts   

I wonder how much will it cost?

Really? You just quoted a random statement from a brand new account with 1(ONE) post in the forum?

I say 12 MH/s @ 6000 Watts and that's provided there are such "ASICs" and this is not just FUD to drop the price of GPUs.

You trolls should denote things properly, is not DDR3, it's GDDR3, my god, how uninformed are you trolls? GDDR3 is so different than DDR3. There are hundreds of topics about DDR3 and GDDR3, I advise you clueless trolls to start reading.

Here is one, https://superuser.com/questions/704168/what-is-the-difference-between-gddr3-and-ddr3

And by the way, its all about performance x cost, so stop crying and do something about your idiotic actions, stop buying rx 580 for $1000 then they will never build an asic for ethash.

Wonder what Ethereum developers will do if it turns out to be true? If you develop something specifically to be ASIC resistant, obviously IMHO you don’t want ASICS mining your coin. If someone makes an ASIC anyways, knowing you don’t want them mining your creation, then fork your coin and make their ASICs bricks. They will think twice about doing it again.

You must be a troll correct? Their asics can act like a video card concerning algorithms, even if eth devs change the algorithm, their asics can still mine the algorithm. I advise you trolls get to reality and stop paying $1000 for a rx 580, What got you trolls on this situation are yourselves.

I doubt they would have created an asic for ethash if rx 580 was selling for $180, like it used to be before the bullshit.

it says on bitmains post DDR3... not gddr3......

I strongly believe that Ethereum devs will find the way to brick those invalid ASIC monsters. By fork or something else. They declare it few times in the past. Also, it is easy to change the software miner (algo) on computer, but to change the algorithm on ASIC, not so easy.
Look the owners of D3 miner, X11 is still the only algo on it. Few groups try to implement X13, X15... but no results yet.

they are partnered with eth devs, they have insider casper knoledge.

Show us where did you read that

Do you have any reference or proofs? unless you say it as "IMHO" or rather " I Guess", a purely hearsay with no basis.

PoS is pulling the trigger on a gun to your coin's head, but ETH dev's have used the threat of it to dissuade ASIC makers, now that Bitmain are calling their bluff they're going to have to come up with another solution. Whatever they do I think it's a brave man who buys an ETH ASIC.
