Scrypt Asic International

[Wipeout2097]

SHA/Scrypt hybrid

If if this where possible, I'm not absolutely sure maybe it actually is (but I don't think so), it would not make any sense to develop such a thing. It definitely would be inferior and more expensive than a specialized device.

Sure its possible and likely already here.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the LTC network alone jumped by 50% in a matter of days, some weeks ago. Feathercoin, Novacoin and others are also turning into giants.

A ASIC that can mine scrypt and sha? I doubt it.

I don't think the approach is to mine both on the same chip. From what I've seen somewhere, there was a system with multiple SHA asics, some GPUs and ram.

That said, in 2 years I still can unload my graphics cards to gamers at 60+% purchase price if I'm patient. And then there's the granularity. I can get cards as gradual add-ons starting at 50€ upto 600€ range, new or used, tweakable, with decent hash rates

Well if the Scrypt ASIC becomes real, not long and mining with GPUs becomes unprofitable

Well, it depends on how much those mining units will cost upfront, how low can one undervolt GPUs, how many new alts are released, etc...
