What's up WO.

It's been a while, how's everyone doing?

I see ChartBuddy is still spamming the thread -- I'm team NoBuddy.

If anyone is interested, I'm going to share my lightning stats for the past month.

At the moment, my node has a total capacity of 14 btc and routed 44 btc over the past 30 days. The profit last month was 0.0035 btc.

It ain't much but it's honest work.

See you at the moon guys

Nice...should only increase going forward.

The Bitcoin market could have done without Joe Biden vetoing a crypto friendly resolution, which I believe makes him the most hostile to crypto President in American history (see what I did there?) at a time when Trump seems to be embracing crypto. The attacks continue, but they will only make the top that much higher…

Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it
Yeah fab space too is costly, forgot about that. Especially these days competing with AMD, nVidia, etc

It really depends on node size but that's where the efficiency is, especially on such a simple asic.

Bitmain is what, 5nm now?

I stopped keeping up with them awhile back so not sure.

If you want some great info on the subject, Jim Keller is the man.

If you want to play around designing your own you can get into a run group buy.

Very, VERY good read!

In short, fuck Bitmain if you want fuck

Good read indeed, thank you.
Especially considering that I just at this very moment when you posted wondered why block 845,948 that got mined a few minutes ago happened to be empty..

Own quite a bunch of their miners but really starting to hate them.

Unfortunately they have quite the monopoly on the hardware ecosystem and used that monopoly to actively fuck over their competition too

Yes, but why? Why do they have a monopoly at all?

With all the chip making capacity in the world, especially in places like Taiwan, and cheap labor worldwide, there should be hundreds of Bitmain competitors by now.

Doesn't compute with me.

Enlighten me.

I don't think a lot of the main cost is the manufacture of the chips but the R&D in designing them (I stand to be corrected here if I'm wrong)

 I seem to remember seeing an invoice from one of the fab shops asking for $200+million to produce another generation of ASICS for friedcat and Asicminer didn't have the funds and I believe he was reluctant to do another pre-order (that's a lot of money to raise).  Wish I had saved screen shots - most links I can find are dead.
