I'm sure the ASIS Manufactures will be making smaller and more efficient miners in to next year, but I wander where it will lead to.
Hobbyist may no longer be able to afford $6000 units with $150/month electricity just for fun. Un-Witty investors may continue to buy high price miners and keep digging. (For them, they can actually use it for the tax write off even they are losing money and benefit the business.)
Where the average home and office space miners would be in early 2014? 60GH/S or even 420GH/S can't compete against the 2TH/S and larger machines and those larger equipment may require special power socket to operate in the house or the regular office wall wiring.
OR the bitcoin can increase the value to $700-$1000 range to stay lucrative for everyone?
What difficulty increment did you put? Cause even 5$ per GH/s seems to break even on my calculation...
