1. why batman doesn't do a ASIC for HEDGE coin (today released coin),

He got the resources but Batman is always busy protecting Gotham.

Damn, I can't stop laughing. So we can call Bitmain as Batman today? Or may forever. "BATMAN FOREVER." Big thank buddy, you shine my day. Grin

I get that all aspects of mining are covered, but there are starting to be more and more posts about the sky falling with demands to fork coins and boycott mining any time there is even a rumor of an ASIC. Altcoin does not equal GPU Coin.

The problem is there's only one Moderator in this Board but, you can use the "report to moderator" button to request those threads to be moved to Altcoin Discussion or request to nuke the thread if necessary.

If you are an altcoin miner presumably you do it for the money; Hardware changes, coin value changes, profitability changes. If you want to mine altcoins there are essentially 4 companies you can do business with: AMD, Nvidia, Intel, and Bitmain. Pick your poison. Each company produces a product that mines certain coins better than others. Bitmain miners might produce a lot more hash rate, but the caveat is they can only do one thing and eventually they become doorstops. GPUs mine less, but have a resale value and are capable of more. Then you have the CPU coins that are GPU resistant. And then you have cpu coins like Monero and ZCoin that are ASIC resistant yet ignore the elephant in the room that most of the hashrate is coming from compromised computers.

Well, as you've said this is Altcoin mining, you can't force people if they like or in favor of GPU/ASIC or CPU, what we could observe is that a lot of people are into GPU mining on this section which is way logical for its price/availability/flexibility and resale value. Its a peoples nature reaction when they find it tougher for profit due to Asic interventions

Altcoin (Alternative Coins) mean coins beside Bitcoin., whatever it is. CPUs, GPUs or may ASICs only devices that you can use for mining, even you can mine Bitcoin by CPU or GPU (if you didn't care about profitability issue). So whats the problems? Huh

Remember, CPUs, GPUs or may ASICs is only devices. This is Altcoin (mining) board. Whatever device you are using, of course.

Dude,
1. why batman doesn't do a ASIC for HEDGE coin (today released coin), but for ETH coin that was build by small miners. they mine for months push the exchanges to accept those new coins in many cases contribute to the developing found. and they bitman, will sale a very close to outdated machines to people supporting this coin.
2 . AMD and NVIDIA dont mine coins so don't put them in the same category as the bitman fraudsters.
