Would love to see Bitmain spitting out Scrypt based ASIC's as well.

What do you mean by that? Just what I said. Most of the ASIC manufacturing is concentrated around supplying and improving SHA256 hardware, making difficulty relative rise at an insane speed, and thus making current equipment becoming obsolete quite fast in the process. You're practically 'forced' to renew your equipment like 1 or 2 times a year, if you like mining and want to keep up. I believe there is (still) a good market in Scrypt ASIC's. If there were some legit cloud company be doing the same with Scrypt based ASIC's like Hashnest is doing with their Antminers, in my opinion, that would be an awesome opportunity; especially, if one could point their hosted hashes towards a pool or coin they desired. |

Got it The problem is - there no any commercially viable Script ASICs on the market. So I dont think we can expect that BTM will be a pleasant exemption |

$575 is our next barrier With $600 we will pass halving easily But I want to have at least 20-30THs with S9 |

Their latest batches were crappy to say the least, and now they filed for bankruptcy too, there could be a nice entry for companies willing to take the risk. Jumping in on the Scrypt market back then with them Titans, from a corporate financial point of view, sure didn't do them any harm  |

Dont think any of the large manufacturers will go into scrypt since the market s not big enough. There s LTC, which is big time shaky after Ether, Factom and the gang entered the market and started challenging it for number 2 position. Who would invest millions into development of an Asic which can mine 1 single coin with potentially failing market cap?

This topic is about Hashnest, not some faucets. State your questions regarding in the appropriate forum please, but not here. |

S9 hash power is the next big thing everyone here is waiting for. Bitmain still keeping us in suspense. Cock teaser. Haha

I m more interested in the next Pacmic. The next cloud miner, having in mind this diff growth is not so spectacular per se but I always welcome innovations. |

If the pre-specs of 14 TH/s are anywhere close, than the S9 for sure is a game changer. Not to mention the SP50 from Spondoolies with a 110 Th/s (!), or the next 14 nm chip from BW.com... |

Jessica, Hopefully BTC will climb to $750 before halving - so even S7 can be profitable for a while |

I am just a little concern that bag holders are waiting for a magic number before thet dump a significant number of coins to cause a panic selling and prices go down.. ....then we can buy more? Lol |

A + $600 price seems reasonable. I am more interested though in how the difficulty will level out, once the halving has passed. With both the upcoming S9's and the next gen 14nm chips from BW.com, this should be pretty interesting to watch how it develops. |

The antminer S9 will come out in the next few weeks, it is much more powerful. |
