Can you mine ETH with BTC mining gear?

[franc0]

Like the title says, Is it possible? Or it runs a different algorithm scrypt or what?

[Sark]

No, it requires a large in memory block that prevents BTC ASICs from working with it.

So i can not mine with Asic miners? What kind of equipment is needed in order to mine them?

[stoat]

NO. Hahahaha

[franc0]

Then how you mine them?

No ASIC "Application Specific Integrated Circuit" uses sha256 algorithm!

[stoat]

Then how you mine them?

Graphics card with a large amount of graphics ram

It depends on each of the algorithms and block nature.

If the block is larger, it will need more ram.
(probably 16GB GPU drives will satisfy this).

ASIC equipment, as mentioned before, only mines with SHA-256d - nothing else.

The litecoin mining gear can mine ETH?

[bathrobehero]

Bitcoin miners (ASICs) can only mine the SHA256 algorithm.
Litecion ASICs can only mine the Scrypt algorithm but Ethereum uses DAG (Dagger-Hashimoto) algo.

Currently you can only mine Ethereum with video cards.

There seem to be some compaines that are making etherium ASICs, but for their own use.
It is a good thing to only be mineable on a a GPU I think (IT keeps the difficulty down and the distribution high).

You can use only GPU cards with more than 2GB mem.
