I'd be quite stoked were Facebook to ban most but not all cryptocurrency ads. What I find most disturbing are all the self-appointed "experts" who offer classes in which they will teach their "system" that they claim will guarantee the students collossal returns on very small investments. However there are lots of ads that I'd like Facebook to keep. Many of the ICO (Initial Coin Offering) ads are from legitimate star…

> In principle ASIC ETH or Monero ASIC mining is _possible_. I expect someone will eventually make ASICs with the required memory integrated into the chip.

Yes, it is, and you don't need the memory integrated into the chip

I‘m sorry to bring you the news, but there aren‘t any.

This is complete nonsense on the part of Google. I'm not sure when they thought they became God.
