Title: Will Bitcoin ASICs like Block Erupter/ANTMINER work on other sha256 currencies? Post by: somatic on June 16, 2014, 11:56:32 PM I know it won't work on Scrypt currencies like Litecoin. I'm wondering specifically about the other sha256 currencies. I'm testing one out to see, but I'm 77 weeks behind on the blockchain, so I said screw it, I'll just ask =p Plus, for all I know, there are mining differences even within the sha256's.

I haven't tried running a cpu miner like minerd at the same time but my guess it'll work too since it can run concurrently with a scrypt/x11/x13/vert miner without the USB ASIC in the mix.
