i wonder if there'll be a "next stage" in the bitcoin mining arms race
<berndj>
the asic miners can't be *that* far behind the state of the art in feature sizes
<berndj>
so moore's law might give us bigger mining chips, but i guess they'd also use more power, so there seems to be an equilibrium there
<berndj>
actually, what does power consumption per gate per unit area look like as a function of feature size? is it still decreasing as we scale down, or has it started increasing again?
<berndj>
(leakage becoming a bigger factor at smaller feature sizes)
<Sync>
well I guess that the asics are pretty large
<Sync>
otherwise they would be much more expensive
