If what I've heard is true, Fpga's are already mining scrypt.
Unconvinced, and first - even if they are, they are unlikely to be a significant performance/power advantage over GPUs, and second - mining, no matter what the means, efficiency, power, resistance, mechanism etc. does not create an ecosystem in and of itself.Makes sense and +1 azw409.
Pardon my noobility but..
Aren't we just a firmware update or fork away from scrypt asics becoming a reality ?
Its very obvious to me how the current gpu exodus/ alt coin frenzy and the gpu sell off of 2012 were both acic induced. Its a conspiracy to centralize BTC and eventually the entire crypto movement.
With the much of the competition shut down or diverted, asic owners are more than happy to see the difficulty stay as artificially low as it is.
@ all alt-coin miners..
If you think 15M diff is high. How are you going to like 30M after most of these useless alts get asic'd and/or become worthless ?
