David Vorick of Siacoin has announced the team has decided to "brick" the Bitmain Antminer A3s and Innosilicon S11 Blake2b Siacoin ASIC miners to allow their Obelisk Tech SC1 miners to be the only miners on their network. Official Post - http://bit.ly/2DWR2Ri

This is some of the most shocking cryptocurrency news and especially crypto mining news of the year as the Siacoin team funded by Nebulous Labs and Obelisk Tech has decided to restore profitability to the ASIC miners that they crowd-funded by use of their originally secret "back door kill switch" - http://bit.ly/CDSia

They took too much time to do that, although is a nice thing they did but i'm afraid is too late, the damage is already done and to recover from that, will be years.

Good video, I have to disagree that this is the "biggest blow to Bitmain anyone has ever done" though.  I mean if anything it made Sia look bad and Bitmain the martyr.  I don't know what they are selling them for now, but you could pick up an A3 directly from bitmain for under $200 recently.  Unless you have free electricity, they lose money.  Bitmain swooped in, made what I am assuming was a large profit, then they got out.  Didn't develop anything to beat Innsilicon's entry.  I think its funny though that David somehow still mentions them as one of the reasons though!

They are delusional too.  In the Reddit ama they said they are still going to operate the company and create asics for other coins!  Its insanity.

Why is Bitmain A3 even being discussed? Its pitiful compared to Innosillicon Siamaster.

And the biggest issue is that Innosillicon owns almost 50% of hash-rate for Sia. Yes, Innosillicon self-mining themselves, not the Siamaster's they sold to others.

Bitmain and Innosillicon will just support the old fork and call it SiaClassic or something.  There's nothing preventing them for supporting and developing on the sia code that works with their miners.

Its barely a blow to bitmain, the monero fork was a way bigger blow , bitmain already killed the sia network and farmed the hell out of sia at lower diffs.

Misslrading topic imo , it affects inno way more than bitmain since thier sia hash is far larger. 

you should rename it to biggest blow dealt to innosilcon lol.

Bitmains blow is comming soon with progpow on eth

How is it a nice thing. They simply said everybody to f*** off so their ASICs can work at all. Just a money move nothing else. They centralize the network under their control. I don't get it how this is a good think. They are hypocrits, the biggest possible.

But who cares about Siacoin anyway. Its a shitcoin.

Your message makes absolutely no sense to this topic. No idea why you are talking about hodling or the BCH fork.


Either way like I commented on my other post. The people that are screwed the most with this are the retail owners of these ASICs which haven't reached ROI yet. Bitmain doesn't really care since they got plenty of other algos to mine anyways.

Bitmain is a much more recognizable name compared to innosilicon, Bitmain was also first to market starting this whole debacle. That's why I chose to use Bitmain over inno etc

also most people will get a kick out of jihan wu's latest tweet

I do know of a particular popular person outside of Siacoin who cares about this decision

Good ole Jihan Wu

And the interesting thing is that Bitmain use this argument when coin devs say they will brick their asics. Bitmain --> "If you devs want to x asics then as we sold many to people, in the end you coin devs will only brick peoples asics.". People need to understand that buying asics always have risks, they should never blame coin devs to brick asics if that is what they were committed in the first place which we all know sia devs were never commited to brick their own asics, and yes to brick competitor asics which i think is wrong. If they want to brick then brick all asics and not just competitor asics cause if they do that then what they are doing is a dictatorial action towards competition and that is wrong in a open cryptocoin market, imagine eth devs bricking amd gpus and letting only nvidia gpus.

The truth is that sia devs are doing this as a revenge x bitmain and in the process is ******** all other sia asic companies, in my concept is, brick all or dont brick any.
