Topic: who bought bitmain Z9 will face a big issues now (Read 4116 times)

what if an algo or new stuff (whatever it may be called) is created that it hashes by rendering-> the kind of work where GPUs excel over ASICs and FPGAs...

GPU miners are like the banks and corps that need govt bailout because their business model is trash

whine whine welfare, protect only my marxist interests and block others from joining the markets..
 

Keep that thought.  BTW  I am now down to 16x 1080ti  and asic for LTC and BTC

It is not that asics can win or lose if mining becomes all asic  or asic + asic /fpga  this industry will eat its own self alive.

It needs the broad base of gpus in smaller setups.  As you still refuse to see that 100,000,000 small guys getting a piece of the pie is why 2017  was a record year.

Asics only or fpga/asics  will kill it.

And I can guarantee amd or nvidia backers will create a new way to earn  that shuts out asics and fpga miners.

They simply don't want to lose the sales.

I have a viable ideas that will stop any big miner.

Ie my new coin is nvidia gpu coin   you can only send 1 miner capped at say  650sols     or like 1x  1080ti

So the benefit of a 10000 sol asic  is worthless as it needs to clock to  650 sols.

the asic = worthless
the fpga = worthless.

in fact  a new coin  such as gpuZcash  can use  the asic al-gore-rythm of equihash  but on the blockchain  limit the block winners to 700 sols. of hash

so you 10000 sol asic has to downclock to 700 sols  not a brick  but fucked none the less.

btw at zcash founders  you could do this with zcash.  and it would work.  pools would need more servers  since more workers  would be used.

program your pos asics of fpga's then  just down clock them to 7 percent  

so the 10000 sols drops to 700 sols and it saves some watts   maybe you do 50- 100 watts, but it does not look that good anymore.


so asic resistance is easy.

Lets try again.  there are two fully mature asic al-gore-rhythms   scrypt and sha 256

some al-gore-rhythms  are taking on asics and resisting
some figure we should go asic.

I am fine with  this.


I am not fine with gpus  being fully knocked out of the game.

Here is why:

1 every year gpus sucked to mine since 2014   crypto-coins had bad times.  but when gpus were good to mine crypto-coins has good times.
2 only avalon has a long asic warranty
3 all gpus have at least a 1 year warranty.

I disagree. All they need is one programmable asic aka FPGA and gpu is dead. No more forking will occur because the FPGA will just program itself. When no more forks occur, new asics can be created to target individual algo. The FPGA is insurance in case algos fork. Another way is drop E3 price back to 800 USD. Gpu dies then lol.


I am not refusing anything. GPU mining may have surprisingly better than asics for 2017. But owning the coin wins all actually because difficulty climbs too much. U make more by owning the underlying gpu coin as well, in general.

The ball to destroy GPU is in asic manufacturers court. They want to or they dont want to only.
