Title: CPU, GPU, FPGA, ASIC Hardware Pros and Cons Post by: andrew1carlssin on April 09, 2018, 11:02:09 PM Hi guys,
Following recent Monero fork Monero Just Hard Forked — and It Resulted in Four New Projects https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/monero-just-hard-forked-and-it-resulted-four-new-projects/ I remember the time bitcoin ASIC's became public ... at the time I though it was a good idea, (things such as ..kept botnets malware away, higher hash rate would keep NSA job more difficult etc... ) btw I my self did follow Butterfly's FPGA research etc ... Make a specialised hardware is not a cheap task .. How much does it cost to have a custom ASIC made? https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/7042/how-much-does-it-cost-to-have-a-custom-asic-made When you go for ASIC you are really committed to a project view and your hardware can be useless in a short period of time ... that's why I do think general purpose computing hardware is a good idea too ... so I just would like to hear from hobbyist miners what are your overall experience regards to those types of hardware mining ?

CPU and GPU a General Computing devices that can be used to solve a more wider computational problems ... |
