Failing that kind of live calibration they could instead take the recent hashrate on their fork (about 7 EH per ocean stats), convert that to power usage (about 100 MW conservatively), then convert that to hashrate with the asics available for their new work function (works out to maybe 500 PH). It might still be way off, but it could be a starting point for a system that could recover on its own. If they're not able to get 100MW on their "real bitcoin" they can't really sustain those claims.
No way in hell are there at least 10k ASICs from 2018-2019 able to mine on blacke2b still working on this entire planet and no way in hell is Goldshell being able to pump out 20-30k SC5 units right now, you have to pay those fabs in advance now and still wait in line and by the time you have the chips there might be no buyers.
They will put a target at a maximum of 1.5x the total hash rate available now for Sia, which is about 10Ph/s and maybe even lower than, I mean, you can't be dumb enough to risk a force adjustment and end up with a stalled chain again....
So, any method to get these inscribed in a block (when it's mined) on their spam-free chain?
