Centralization of Dash miners?

[Coinbeast]

Hello,

I am new to Dash so please bare with me. I have been a BTC/ETH miner for a few years now and want to mine Dash but it seems like the availability of dash asics is terrible to say the least and I have been unable to find threads discussing this topic.

I have read about people not being able to by Dash miners because of the suppliers favoring Chinese buyers. They have not explained why they think this but I can only assume that because of a low supply of units, they sell out to large buyers on the same continent.

I do not yet fully understand how the Dash network operates, but as a new user I am concerned of the implications of a centralization of miners. Do I have anything to be concerned about here?

Thanks

No need to be concerned
it is the same old ASIC game
they are hard to get and if you get one you do not know if there is already a faster one in the pipeline - same old ....

but that they are only selling to chinese is NOT proven at all !
as far as i know the last batch of ASIC's ran out of stock pretty fast - some people are trying to sell them (good or bad intentions) , but there are definitely issues in that supply line

as of centralisation
nope
Dash Mining is well spread around the globe - best example was 12.1 update which went in 24h if i remember correct
sure there are chinese farms involved but lucky for us we have enough other farms in iceland , costa rica and wherever else.

I suppose that asic's will become more available in time so if you can get your hands on one now you will have the advantage of the low difficulty increase.
