There is apparently a new ASIC miner coming right around the corner called Antminer K5 for the Eaglesong algorithm used by the Nervos (CKB) project. The device is made by the largest miner company with the Bitmain being their first ASIC device apparently. Antminer K5 promises to deliver 1.13 TH/s hashrate with 1580 Watts of power usage, a significant improvement over the existing FPGA miners with support for the algorithm. The new ASIC is priced at $1800 USD with shipping about to start in April, so in just a few days from now.

Currently a BlackMiner F1 Ultra FPGA manages to do just about 26.5 GH/s with about the same power usage and a daily revenue of about $9 USD, however that is about to change with the new much higher hashrate ASIC miner. So bad news for HashAltcoin and their FPGA miners and the people that use them as CKB was the best performing and most profitable project to mine for a few months already.
