Title: will they ever be a a system like antminer Post by: chrismaher on December 14, 2017, 09:44:22 PM will they ever be a a system like antminer that replaces gpu for the new cypto currencies the antminer made gpus no good for mining
or do people just make new systems for what ever will be the best thing to mine just like antminer did with ASICS new to all this so might be a stupid qustion just trying to learn fast Title: Re: will they ever be a a system like antminer Post by: RdStrcklnd on December 14, 2017, 10:05:11 PM will they ever be a a system like antminer that replaces gpu for the new cypto currencies the antminer made gpus no good for mining or do people just make new systems for what ever will be the best thing to mine just like antminer did with ASICS new to all this so might be a stupid qustion just trying to learn fast There already are a couple by Bitmain that mine script coins (D3, L3+).

It takes a very established and profitable algorithm to get ASICs built for it since it takes a significant investment. This could change but not in the foreseeable future. FPGAs can be applied to many algorithms I think but it requires a lot of skill to program.
There have been ASICs for Scrypt (Litecoin) and probably coming for Ethereum. Title: Re: will they ever be a a system like antminer Post by: chrismaher on December 14, 2017, 11:11:18 PM Thanks so much that as saved me probably hours and hours of searching
it’s only I am on a fast learning curve trying to get my rig sorted and it’s just it’s a big investment for me Thanks again |
