What is or isn't interesting to you means nothing. It's the truth. 95% (probably more like 99%+ but I am being generous) of the world knows nothing about crypto-currency today. And they WILL want in when it mainstreams.
$100? You said "worthless" before. Change your mind? Besides, this doesnt even make sense. They are 5% of what? Please read above. You are guessing that these cards will only be worth $100 someday because you assume only gamers will want them You are wrong.
Why is it that your entire argument is based on "incoming drops" and "in two weeks"? Ah yes. Because you are guessing and throwing FUD.
(Sigh) Señor Knot. Please try to keep up. I am talking about USB Block Erupters that will only mine dust. YET, people are still selling them used on eBay for $60. Do you even know what they are?
Wow. Are you always this slow? No. Like these today. They still have value to someone. Which is my entire point. GPU's will not be "worthless in two weeks" as you originally claimed.

LOL. Let me get this straight. AMD, one of the largest chip & board manufactures in the world is afraid of competing "coz" of small ASIC specialty shops? Right. This is like saying Mercedes is afraid of Tesla because they don't know how to make electric cars. It's all about the market and believe me, AMD is perfectly capable of making a single function ASIC chip. (Just as Mercedes could make electric cars if they chose).
Again, THE POINT is that the market isn't big enough to warrant mass produced, purpose built cards. Today.
Oh they will die. In 26+/- years. Until then they just get more difficult and the rewards get smaller. What you are missing young Mr. Knot, is that the price of BTC will increase dramatically in the next decade. You are only looking at today. You think "Mining is dead because it costs more in electricity than what I am getting at $600 a BTC". Would you keep mining if it was $6000 a coin? Because it will be, eventually. Again. You are looking at today. I am looking at ten+ years from now long after you have spent your mined coins on candy & beer.
And you should stay in school. And take an English class.
>$100? You said "worthless" before. Change your mind?
Nope. You didnt understand the context. Mining doesnt make sense anymore, it will become worthless soon. You sound like a naive student before he starts to study. "Oh i will earn lot of money" "Oh i will drive big cars with lots of horsepower" "Oh i will get some well shaped girls with big boobs" "O i will retire at the end of 2015 after selling my coins"... bullshit. Moving from 100$ to 1000$ is one thing, moving from 1000$ to 10000$ the other. Bitcoin has to grow up to 6000-7000$ to make mining profitable now, and these are verly low profits. Use predication calculators. Altcoins will share the same fate. Go and buy some coins, that makes more sense than mining. Instead of buying rigs 5000$ worth, buy BTC or any other currency and hold them. Be happy when BTC will reach 3000$.
>because you assume only gamers will want them
Who else? Your 80yo gran'ma'?
>I am talking about USB Block Erupters that will only mine dust.
Worthless too, use predication calculators.
>It's all about the market and believe me, AMD is perfectly capable of making a single function ASIC chip
Decisions, decisions and decisions. Microsoft missed the development of smartphones. Big companys cunt move as fast as you assume they can.
