gaw-zen-paycoin just about killed off scrypt with their tatics.

and once the s-3 jumped from 2 watt gear to .8 watt gear  the asic world simply stopped efficiency wise.

we are now at .48watt gear. under clock the sp20 and it drops to .48 watts

big farms and builders now find cheap power , as that cost less then making new gear.

I can break the math down if you want it.

but a guy with .8watt s-3's and 3 cent power wins over a guy with .51 watt s-5's and 10 cent power.

this has changed the builders mind set. quite a bit.

Gridseed - Became Sfards and has hardware in the works
what is Sdards mean?

I missed 2014 when we can saw many bitcoin mining hardware companies announed their products and compete each other on market
It was happen when bitcoin price still high and mining can be profitable (at least by calculation).

Now many companies either become scam company or bankrupt, and others are not active developing new products
it seems recent BTC price drop lowering market's demand for mining hardware.

Meanwhile in China, there are some big bitcoin miner facility spend their hash to mining bitcoin.
Are those miner purchased mining hardware from their local hardware companies?

i only know that knc are investing in 16nm chip and that a new line up of miners is coming for them, but as it was said they don't sell anymore, so it's a bit of pointless news

KNC - Only making hardware for themselves

Zeus - I believe they went cloud only

Gridseed - Became Sfards and has hardware in the works

Spondoolies - Only making hardware for themselves

Bitmain - No new ASIC announced

Avalon - Currently selling their 4.1 miner

Bitfury and 21 - Are coming out with something soon but details are not clear. Seems like they will be low hashrate chips integrated into basic items.

Alcheminer - Currently Selling their scrypt miner

I think that about sums it up.  Did I miss anyone that is not bankrupt or a scam?

I wanted to start this topic,by asking whats going on with the mining gear with bitcoin or scrypt.


are they dying out? is there no new machines in the works?


does any one have any insight in the big companies about any hardware. 2014 was so big for mining is it now buy bulk old machines and just mine bitcoin.


some companies.

zeusminers.
zoomhash
knc

etc,
