Title: ASIC MINERS Post by: coinseeker2 on August 05, 2013, 09:21:44 PM Can asic miner mined any SHA-256 cryptocoin and by extension can it also mine any scrypt cryptocoin.
Thank you Title: Re: ASIC MINERS Post by: MiningBuddy on August 05, 2013, 09:23:39 PM Current ASIC can only mine SHA-256

You can mine pretty much any SHA-256 based altcoin with current ASIC, not that I condone altcoins at all, but you can if you wish.
