FPGA mining cards and because someone has paid over 7.5 million USD to develop asics with FPGA integrated to handle the algo change. This also means asics are now theoretically
re-programmable making them more versatile, capable of jumping from coin to coin.
They work more shares so they take more coins.
They have slowly built up as people have left to mine other coins, making GPU payout lower while maintaining relative difficulty and net hash.
This also means price will continue to drop overall in the short to medium time frame.
No Algo is asic resistant. Asic resistance is a fairy tale.
Asics have a very short half life, so you'r not being told as the asic developer/purchaser needs to protect the investment on the asics until they hit their ROI target.
When there is a large amount of FIAT to be earned, you will never be told the entire truth, especially in an age when trolling public posts is more important than sharing facts and understanding.
