Post by: DebitMe on December 20, 2013, 05:32:20 PM Just wondering will there ever be USB scrypt sticks for litecoin,they have it for bitcoin so why not litecoin? litecoin uses scrypt and bitcoin uses SHA-256. Scrypt requires memory to mine and getting that to work well on a normal sized board has so far not been that successful (not to mention getting it to the size of a USB stick). Not saying it cant be done, but developers are seeing with what is currently available no further optimization than just using GPU's to mine Scrypt. Summary - extremely hard to make a more efficient scrypt FPGA/ASIC than a GPU that is a normal sized board. |
