I doubt there are alot of eth asics yet, memory is expensive, each chip needs at least 3gb

Bitmain has as much money as Nvidia right now, dont think money is a concern as far as the return for the asic miners give a return which is the case, the only concern is be in the queue for memory chips.

thats a good point, they have so much $$ now

Is it confirmed that ethhash is minable with the new asic that i've read in the news before? How come that this asic resistance technology is now invaded with asic? any legitimate information regarding this news.

How can you deny it when the chart is right there in front of you? Take a look at the past few months, its never gone down this sharply for this long.
Things are changing. Miners are quitting.

Yes, miners are quitting, asics are not. Sadly more than 50% of the hashrate is coming from asics, also right now it shows that the difficulty is going down but you need to understand that bitmain and co will be filling with more asics, so you will not see drop in the hashrate or difficulty for that matter. So for 100 gpus quitting, bitmain adds one asic to cover it for each 100 gpus hehe

The problem is that until there is a confirmed actual ETH ASIC, all those reports are still only RUMORS. I wouldn't factor them into the equation.

Anyway my point is that ETH difficulty has dropped and most likely won't be rising up again until we see the market value rise up again.

didf is down bc the people with expensive electric do better by buying eth at this point than mining.

or they are selling thier gpus before prices drop, also ravencoin is more profitable by eth for all brand of cards so ppl are switching

It's not down at all.

What you are looking at is just some variance.

Give it a week or two and it will probably go to a new high anyways in difficulty.

People seem to have shut down their rigs. Maybe a few farms at least.
