Title: can redfury asic do anything other than sha256?
Post by: sstark on January 11, 2018, 03:04:23 AM
Hello,

I stopped mining a few years back but have just gotten back into it again.

I have 5 redfury usb miners, which are mining about 11-12 Ghs on sha256

Since I have been out of the loop, I'm curious if there are any other algo's that these things can use?

My old GTX 760 is getting over 10x the btc alone using crytonight than these 5 usb's can pull in. seems off.

No.
Lookup ASIC in Wikipedia to learn why.

Also highly suggest you immediately read -ck's https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415854.msg24714338#msg24714338 in your case Point-3 applies. Those sticks of yours are ancient... Good for lotto mining but that is all.

yeah, just asking if anything changed. I see new coins using sha256, but that's all I found.
