I am curious about the last part of this comment, “we may never see ASICs supporting C33”?
Could you elaborate on this?
Well, everything is simple - there will always be only C32
Not quite correct; Grin’s PoW is C32+, which includes C32, C33, C34, … C63. But I expect ASICs will only ever target C32.

Not as dead as Beam lol.
Plus some dude developed an entire ledger live integration recently for whatever reason. Most of the ledger hardware supported coins require 3rd party wallets - yet this grin one works with ledger live natively. So random to have that just now built into ledger live when the coin is near worthless.
The other privacy coins like Monero, Bitcoin, Dash, Zcash, and a couple others seem to have much more user activity though.

What do you define as dead, the dollar value or market cap of a coin…or active development? Any coin that has active code development, users and intrinsic added value, is not dead IMO. Taking the price as indicator of the value of a project does not work well. Especially since in Bear markets the majority of users would not sell their coins for the market value, meaning the trading price * total_supply = market cap does not hold in reality. The percentage of coins that make the Bitcoin market-price, or those of most other coins like Beam and Grin, are nothing compare to the number of coins that are not moved by the hysteria of the market.

I was mostly giving a reason for why I thought Grin was not dead. I was trying to be realistic I guess as far as dollar value goes as well as usability value.
Not hating on the coin but not blindly praising it either. From what I’ve seen, the project is alive and well.

2023 almost over did we get new ASICs yet?

I would be Ipollo, I would wait with releasing a new miner till the next bull-run start. But perhaps they already have a couple of new model units with which they are mining while being way more profitable then the rest of us out there, before releasing them public that is. At least, that would make sense to me.

Doesn’t look like next gen ASICs are out yet. Seems that a chunk of existing ASICs are being taken offline. Never been a better time to accumulate.

We have to close that hole C33 …C34 C36
because 51% atack on C32 from C33 using HBM200 rented servers will be demanding and much more destructive that it was.
