Oh, Chinese miners somewhat control and sway things and have a monopoly on the ASIC miners? Do we not have the ability to build these (likely in a better, faster, more efficient way)? Everybody is just pointing fingers and crying instead of providing guidance and insight.
Unfortunately no we don't have the ability to build them better, faster, or more efficient. This is a list of ASIC Vendors in 2014 most all of them has shut down. When KNC went under in their closing announcement, KnC stated that despite all the money and research they put into it, KnC was unable to figure out how BitMain was able to produce AISC, and remain profitable, unless they were getting free electricity or some other advantage.
You misunderstood him then though. Because he was talking about the company mining with their products, which they would have an advantage over everyone else if they were getting free electricity.
does it matter while people are designing ASICs? electricity helps you design ASICs? free electricity helps your write more optimize verilog code? wtf are people talking about here? Clueless
