Full size Z9 price drop to $1994/unit from about $3200/unit and Z9 Mini no longer for sale on Bitmain website.

Been out of stock for weeks but just came back.

I doubt if this is ever going to happen. With that much community money invested in asics, it would be a bold move to go back to gpu's.

Also, what's the point. The new algo will be mastered by asics one day and then the whole race starts over again.

Better focus on PoS.

Zcash announced they will change mining algo in late 2019. While people could still ROI there Z9 ASICs within that timeframe(not if this bear market keeps crashing!) Everyone who decides to keep is basically left with doorstops, leaving only HORIZEN(Maybe?) and few other small Equihash coins.  Roll Eyes

What're everyone's thoughts? Is Zooko insane for waiting a year to change it? how will that affect the network considering it will be fully dominated by ASICs then?

if this happens it will be great for GPU Mining community. I simply hate ASIC.

It's sad to see that some community grow because of GPU miners and as soon as they become popular they forget GPU community and make peace with ASIC
