Title: Scrypt ASIC Post by: Remember remember the 5th of November on February 22, 2014, 12:35:36 PM Haven't really read up on anything asic related to scrypt, but if one does come out...GPU mining will be dead - sad. The market will be flooded with used AMD cards and the prices of AMD GPUs will probably also fall.
Title: Re: Scrypt ASIC Post by: hostmaster on February 22, 2014, 12:35:54 PM yes i think so
Title: Re: Scrypt ASIC Post by: NameTaken on February 22, 2014, 01:22:14 PM Coins that use Scrypt-Jane and Nfactor are even more ASIC resistant so GPUs would still be the best way to mine them.
Title: Re: Scrypt ASIC Post by: ANJULE on February 22, 2014, 01:39:32 PM Scrypt needs much memory and a very good, fast way to send and retrieve data form and to it.
This is very expensive to achieve, so I think that the ROI for asic is very long. If for some reason people start to use different protocol for alt-coins, those very expensive ASICs are worthless. So GPU is the way to go, best would be to develop an energy-efficient GPU with Scrypt-mining in thoughts. This would be the no.1 choice for everyone’s GPU. Just a hint for AMD/Ndivia ;) I bet AMD makes a ton of money just because of alt-coins. Title: Re: Scrypt ASIC Post by: BitCoinPokerBro on February 22, 2014, 01:41:36 PM What are you talkin' about? Scrypt asic's are already hashing. Maybe not next gen asics but first gen yeah plenty have been hashing all month.
Title: Re: Scrypt ASIC Post by: ANJULE on February 22, 2014, 02:10:13 PM Yep, but something like 70kh/s and for some serious cash...

Maybe not next gen asics but first gen yeah plenty have been hashing all month. Link to where they are sold? I couldn't afford one even if I wanted to, this is why I am concerned.Title: Re: Scrypt ASIC Post by: ANJULE on February 22, 2014, 03:06:56 PM Well theres no point of buying one. But they cost around 1700€

I couldn't afford one even if I wanted to, this is why I am concerned.ASIC available at present are only gridseed based-products: gridseed 5 chips miners (circular shape) and dualminer.com (1 gridseed chip) FPGA products currently shipping: ltcgear.com (~300 kH/sec) Full informations of all developers/projects here: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=6506.0 Title: Re: Scrypt ASIC Post by: Warning__3 on February 22, 2014, 03:13:35 PM here's a reseller if you wanna order some :P
