Yesterday, Bitmain released their Antminer E3 for ETHASH ALGO.
a lot of speculations and suggestions from ETHEREUM Community suggest to apply Hardfork for a ETHEREUM ASIC-RESISTANT version of PoW.
however, in some of gamers group,they rejoiced as they trust that GPU prices will go down to its original SRP.
https://shop.bitmain.com/product/detail?pid=00020180403174908564M8dMJKtz06B7a few of my thoughts of having Antminer E3 vs. GPU
Advatanges:
1. Lower Power consumption
2. Cheaper than 6 gpu combined @800USD
3. Rig space allocation would be effecient
4. Cable maintenance
DisAdvantages:
1. Resell
2. Maintenance (as GPU can be disassembled / clean)
3. Usability (Games / Compute mode)
4. Warranty / Replacement of components
5. flexibility to allocate GPU miners to run 2 mining apps for 2 separate coins.

Do you agree on ETHEREUM HARDFORK or just wait for Casper to turn ETH into PoS?
