I thought they were giving up new chip development and would be focusing on cloud mining services... What happened? Was it because of the capital injection, or they weren't planning on giving up making chips to begin with?

I don't know why these people are putting even more money on mining. Already it is a highly over-saturated sector. We need a reduction in hash-power, to make mining profitable, at least for the major players.

the reason is, its damn profitable.

Agreed, perhaps the small players aren't profitable anymore, but I would expect the major players are making money...

some months ago a miner on reddit said, he can even mine profitable with 80 USD per BTC. so do the math  Wink

Hmmm, maybe they can afford to refund me for this worthless hardware they shipped me then Wink

Pretty sure they stopped taking calls because of me...

This is pretty good. With more investment going into core proceeds of the Bitcoin industry (from merchant services to mining equipment) it paints a less-dark picture than the mining operations which are shutting down due to a low market value.
