Re: BlockBurner - Crucible FPGA Scrypt Miner - Answering the Call
ASIC for Scrypt is a long ways off, and Scrypt is more resistant to ASICs anyway so we'll see.
If you can do scrypt with an FPGA efficient you can do the same with ASICs. It's only a question of the minimal volume you have to produce/sell.
Unfortunately this is true. You should keep asic on the table even if its cost prohibitive you would want to plan for 2 years away.
Definitely. In the progression of things FPGA is just the next logical step for Scrypt as GPUs get cost prohibitive with the growth of the whole network. ASIC Scrypt will come someday but will probably be a little while yet as FPGAs are just hitting the table, as they once did for SHA machines. Or maybe by then something better will come along, who knows
