Any proof for these claims? Last I saw was 200MH per 6 cards with absurd overclock. How long will these cards survive?
those are new gpu, they can sustain higher overclock, check about the possibility with pascal they can be pushed easily to 1800 core and more the same for amd 480x the proof is one guy doing it in the ethereum(complete guide and anything) forum under linux only for the moment, but soon it should be possible under windows complete guide? ... do you have the link please mate? ... #crysx

With difficulty of Ethereum jumping by 35% in 3/4 weeks ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Do you reckon ASIC mining hardware is shipping amongst insiders? From Dash coin, engineers where making small batches of ASIC X11 miners, long before commercial products became available to the community in April this year!

Dagger is designed in a way that makes it extremely ASIC resistant (in addition to being better 'gpu' resistant). This is just megafarms scaling up in addition to all the Eth babies.

You also might want to factor in what Eth was doing 3-4 weeks ago... Prices were climbing, things were very bullish so everyone has come out of the woodwork to setup a miner. It wasn't long ago we were $20+ for Eth and then the DAO fiasco hit. So the momentum was already going in this direction for people to stand up rigs due to the profit factor. Now the Eth thing is still unresolved, diff is climbing and price is falling. So it is the perfect storm and likely to stay that way until this DAO fork issue is behind them and people have forgotten about this mess... If that is possible. Until then things are going to be pretty tight on the profit side of the house with diff and prices going the wrong way.

I just mentioned it: people might be rushing out to buy more GPUs for Dagger, when ROI is looking unlikely! Yup, it's Eth babies and mega farms. Eth babies don't know that Eth will go PoS and all the other coins can't support the weight... Megafarms (like genesis that were mentioned) don't care and they have plenty of other assets to function off of as they liquidate their GPU farms when it happens. It's like 2013/14 all over again. Only this time with one coin instead of a bunch of them to support the weight. All the more fragile. SP throwing in the towel isn't helping things either. I mentioned this trend and pointed it out a couple months ago after Eth start growing at a rapid rate and have mentioned it a couple times since as well. Eth babies are people that didn't start mining till this spring with Ethereum, if you didn't get that.

pure speculations :-) gtx 1070 on the way to me... let's see if I can fix neoscrypt on it.
And a dark knight appears. There is a guy in the Eth miner thread and also post here stating that the bug with NeoS was due to a WDDM issue, which will be fixed in this coming month. He has details on it as well. Good news everyone - the driver for both Win 78/Win 10 insider preview should be available next week - on this driver all Pascal GPUs are able to do the same as on Linux on ether in Win 10 Insider preview without any change But with Win 7/8 and other algos for win 10 insider preview devs need to take action If any devs are interested in details PM me - Genoil is informed, it would be nice to fix neoscrypt - if anyone is up to the task - welcome
He explained it differently in Genoil's thread. Something about block size.

good to hear, i hope you can fix it and increase to 1200-1300 khs ASICs can hash exponentially faster then GPUs... BTC for instance. A 1070 would hash at a fraction of a percent of a current ASIC. Depending on how fast they can speed up their ASICs, they could potentially outrun the difficulty increase, since it's not a reduction in block reward... Although I don't know how long they could do that for.

Depending on how fast they can speed up their ASICs, they could potentially outrun the difficulty increase, since it's not a reduction in block reward... Although I don't know how long they could do that for. OK, I can tell you don't understand the R&D process. Essentially, engineers look at GPU, with best performance and put together a cheaper (ASIC) prototype, but these have to be produced in batches of 500-1,000. These prototype batches, strip the extra GPU functions not necessary to hashing the algorithm. The engineers keep repeating this process with each batch of prototypes. This process is done in secret and is self-financing so long as news never gets out that this is being done, because the prototype batches produce Alt Coins, which can be sold for BTC and converted into cash to pay for the next generation of prototypes. What the engineers are hoping for is some kind of breakthrough, in this process, which produces chip design that makes vastly more hash output per a unit of electricity. On Dash, X11 prototype batches where being produced 6 months, before the engineers made the breakthrough. The situation on Ethereum is slightly different, the prototype batches have become highly lucrative with Ethereum prices about 0.014BTC to 0.028BTC. So, those engineers who are working on Dagger algorithm are simply chucking out bigger and bigger batches of the prototypes

this assumes that you know the gpu chip structure... not sure nvidia or amd want to share that with anybody ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) unless it's themselves doing that.
