I know this will sound harsh: Leave the GPUs to the Gamers, Gaming industry and Graphic Artists;
Let them use the "
Graphic Processing Unit" for computing "
graphics" at a reasonable price.
Apparently, it's foreseeable that major digital currency's algorithm battle against ASIC manufacturers will either "
let it go" or keep updated until one surrender which is will not be the case for those companies (
there will always be another compatible shitcoin that will not fork).
Not ASIC manufacturer's defeat, not the coin hodlers either, but surely the GPU miners will be the most affected.
And the facts: Mostly all
not-shitcoins can only be mined using ASICs or others are actively updated against ASICs and not GPU-optimized. Not centralized either, both are publicly available and the price between a single GPU and an ASIC isn't that high.
It's a Win-win for Bitmain,
man this Chinese company needs to pay more taxes.Overall, less GPU miners is for the greater good (
just do the math)
In the future, most major coins will only be mineable using ASICs.
Believe me, I'm from the future
thats right bro kill off the easiest way to have widespread adaptation of mining coins,

everyone of the above if purchased sept 1 2017 made a profit to roi fully by feb 1 2018 every fucking one.
now granted many people fucked up and blew or lost the profit but check the facts out I am correct.
find the sept 1 2017 price for those cards and do the math. that = millions of cards and millions of adapters and asic builders killed that off.
basically asic builders got so fucking hungry they ate their legs and crippled the industry by doing it.
So instead of a gpu kid happy to get a free gaming rig and a few bucks to buy more games you get a gaming kid that hates mining won't use crypto .
World wide x 3,000,000 maybe 5,000,000 turned off by the move.
Me I am flexible I have all gear cpu gpu fpga asics.
But I am a miner not a gaming kid.
I have worked with pc's before apple existed and back as far as 1974.
I can say they were mainframe back then not really pc's.
I always saw this as a power game not a gear game.
the reality is it
see-saws from
power king to
gear king to
power king
and on an on. Dealing the blow to gpu hobby and small miners kills adaption big time."
