Bitcoin is about to break 1 Billion difficulty.
The leap in difficulty must mean all the 500-600Ghash/sec 28nm ASICs are coming online.
Given that there has been a 8x growth in price, miners must still be profitable at this point? If I were an ASIC supplier, I would be delaying shipping and "alpha testing" those hardware in times like this
At 500ghash/sec you can only make half a coin per day now.
I would imagine they burn in test for 24 hours but with so many units to build they would have to rotate them out.
Soon a $5000 machine like that will only make a quarter coin per day.
I'm glad that you're not an ASIC supplier, because that's fraudulent and dishonest.
Implying the ASIC suppliers aren't?
Deja vu all over again.
