Scrypt ASIC

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

Haven't really read up on anything asic related to scrypt, but if one does come out...GPU mining will be dead - sad. The market will be flooded with used AMD cards and the prices of AMD GPUs will probably also fall.

[hostmaster]

yes i think so

Coins that use Scrypt-Jane and Nfactor are even more ASIC resistant so GPUs would still be the best way to mine them.

Scrypt needs much memory and a very good, fast way to send and retrieve data form and to it.
This is very expensive to achieve, so I think that the ROI for asic is very long. If for some reason
people start to use different protocol for alt-coins, those very expensive ASICs are worthless.

So GPU is the way to go, best would be to develop an energy-efficient GPU with Scrypt-mining in
thoughts. This would be the no.1 choice for everyone’s GPU. Just a hint for AMD/Ndivia
I bet AMD makes a ton of money just because of alt-coins.

What are you talkin' about? Scrypt asic's are already hashing. Maybe not next gen asics but first gen yeah plenty have been hashing all month.

[ANJULE]

Yep, but something like 70kh/s and for some serious cash...

Link to where they are sold? I couldn't afford one even if I wanted to, this is why I am concerned.

Well theres no point of buying one. But they cost around 1700€

Hello!
ASIC available at present are only gridseed based-products: gridseed 5 chips miners (circular shape) and dualminer.com (1 gridseed chip)
FPGA products currently shipping: ltcgear.com (~300 kH/sec)

Well spotted! I didn't know about this one... I'll update the list! Thank you.
