Edit: BOTH X13 and X11
this can be true, as chinese don't care about the money involved in just one algo, they simply can't wait for that algo to become big
one chinese with skill can develop an asic easily , buying pieces in black chinese market
and mine just for himself
It's not ASIC's lol. Just big GPU farms, this big GPU farms existed 6 months ago, and for sure nobody sold them out. You can have a group of people with like 50-100 GPU's each together, on private pool. Chinese can do this well. There's nobody making in a few days x13 ASIC hardware.
And there are still individuals with big numbers of GPU. Check this: https://twitter.com/zedomax/status/473325459057283072/photo/1
l2r, i have only said that it is not impossible, as many people think
and you can be sure about one thing, if x11/13 asic would ever exist, they would mine with them long before the announcement
I dont think you know how asic are really built. This X13 algo is not even 2 weeks old, how can they already tapeout asics for this new algo? X11 at best maybe possible, but X13 is impossible for now... This things takes months to do not a few days...
Guys, not asics... FPGAs. They are programmable.. And so all the algos in the x11 or x13 chain can be run on those badboys (allegedly.. But realistically, no reason why they couldnt, they are non memory hard algos etc..
