No. Please try to follow along. I will type slow.
95% of the world aint interesting.
What is or isn't interesting to you means nothing. It's the truth. 95% (probably more like 99%+ but I am being generous) of the world knows nothing about crypto-currency
today. And they WILL want in when it mainstreams.
Its the gamers who will buy 280X for 100$ each, and they are more than 5%.
$100? You said "worthless" before. Change your mind? Besides, this doesnt even make sense. They are 5% of what? Please read above. You are guessing that these cards will only be worth $100 someday because you assume only gamers will want them You are wrong.
Youre right, thats not the whole truth. I forgot the incuming pricedrops of AMD, but they aint necessairy, the pressure on ebay will be strong enough without AMDs "help".
Why is it that your entire argument is based on "incoming drops" and "in two weeks"? Ah yes. Because you are guessing and throwing FUD.
lol, then go an buy one if your are confident of what you are writing. Only then youre convincing. And take zneww with ya, he needs help (quoting some posts and writing "+1"-shit means, he aint able to fend for himself)
(Sigh) Señor Knot. Please try to keep up. I am talking about USB Block Erupters that will only mine dust. YET, people are still selling them used on eBay for $60. Do you even know what they are?
And getting them 3 months later?
Wow. Are you always this slow? No. Like these today. They still have value to someone. Which is my entire point. GPU's will not be "worthless in two weeks" as you originally claimed.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/151209947794?lpid=82Wrong. AMD doesnt develop GPUs for mining-purposes coz there are incuming more energy-efficient ASICs . How to beat 25MH@350W with Tahiti "v2.0"? No chance.
LOL. Let me get this straight. AMD, one of the largest chip & board manufactures in the world is afraid of competing "coz" of small ASIC specialty shops? Right. This is like saying Mercedes is afraid of Tesla because they don't know how to make electric cars. It's all about the market and believe me, AMD is perfectly capable of making a single function ASIC chip. (Just as Mercedes could make electric cars if they chose).
Again, THE POINT is that the market isn't big enough to warrant mass produced, purpose built cards. Today.
GPU-scrypt mining will die as SHA-256 GPU mining did.
Oh they will die. In 26+/- years. Until then they just get more difficult and the rewards get smaller. What you are missing young Mr. Knot, is that the price of BTC will increase dramatically in the next decade. You are only looking at today. You think "Mining is dead because it costs more in electricity than what I am getting at $600 a BTC". Would you keep mining if it was $6000 a coin? Because it will be, eventually. Again. You are looking at today. I am looking at ten+ years from now long after you have spent your mined coins on candy & beer.
You should go into politics, policians dont learn from history as you do and they are far from reality as you are. You would do your job as politician very well.
And you should stay in school. And take an English class.
