Title: Do you like asic resistant currency? How about 50% cheaper electric bills? Post by: Kreativekrypto on April 06, 2014, 03:40:12 PM Hello,
In case you have been debating selling your GPU farm I invite you to first try mining Heavycoin. Excellent devs, unique algorithm, and every block mined You get to cast a vote on the final amount of coins created! See our Thunderclap for more info and links and leave scrypt coins to asics behind. https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/10329-heavycoin-secure-e-currency?locale=en Title: Re: Do you like asic resistant currency?

EDit, should say gpu are more viable/flexible. Especially as gpu tech continues to improve Title: Re: Do you like asic resistant currency? How about 50% cheaper electric bills?

I would think if the GPU was fully utilized, regardless of the algorithm, it would use the same amount of electricity.EDit, should say gpu are more viable/flexible.

Post by: henrik_z on April 07, 2014, 05:20:31 AM x11 is ASIC resistant to the extent there's no ASICs on the horizon specifically for it YET, but given all the component algos are designed to be easily implemented in hardware it will happen and quicker than scrypt has!
Having said that it's a great stopgap, very profitable coins per kWh and I'm loving the reduced noise of my cooler rigs :) Title: Re: Do you like asic resistant currency?

Especially as gpu tech continues to improve X11 uses less power and generates less heat, most likely because the implementation is inefficient. X11 is also not ASIC-resistant in the slightest. Incorrect: Groestl uses less power and generates less heat, making it most power efficient algo. Might want to read the forum more for comparison between Groestl and x11.

Especially as gpu tech continues to improve That's like saying all cars should get the same gas mileage. GPUs aren't all the same. Case in point, I specifically mentioned the Nvidia 750 Ti which can bang out 300 kh/s at around 50W undervolted. What will be next? Title: Re: Do you like asic resistant currency?
