There is a inordinate amount of FPGAs floating around as well. From my experience with niche algos it seems any thing that can be mined with a FPGA is currently being. It's like the new ASIC. If coin makers care about their coin and GPU users they should consider hardening them against FPGAs. Ideally GPU mineable coins should be a moving target with algo adjustments on a regular basis as no one is doing this currently.
I've been in quite a few niche markets and they're all showing similar signs. It's like back in '14 when scrypt asics started showing up. I'm sure the Chinese are fucking things, but it's not just that, considering the decline in GPU shipments according to makers we shouldn't be seeing this much growth in GPU hashrate. It wouldn't be far fetched to assume custom ASICs similar to baikals that can mine multiple algos as well. GPUs are basically big ASICs. A couple of the coins I've mined have had legitimate operations show up and start advertising their 'cloud' mining service, which wasn't just one coin, and they weren't using GPUs.
That aside, the 2XXX series and Eth fork couldn't happen at a worse time.

Lol, dude, get a life..
Go take your bruised ego else where. Stop into your locally owned store and start talking shit there to kill time. No? Guess there are limitations to being spoiled.
