Any links to working ASICs (N-Factor: 10; N: 2048)?

KNC Titan can mine Garlicoin and any scrypt-n coin with an n up to 19. It's a released miner that had went onto production. Units of it are still sold second hand. Very powerful one, mind you.

After further investigation, Bitmain's the most reputable manufacturer, L1 miner seems to be capable of mining scrypt-n. Read below:

Quote from: BITMAIN on September 03, 2014, 11:29:53 AM

Our brand new, high-performance L1 will be hashing at 120MH/s with the market-best pricing of only $599.00 USD per unit with free shipping worldwide, hailing in at a market-topping rate $5/MH/s. This ensures our L1 will be absolute the best $/MH/s as well as power efficiency spec in the Scrypt mining market. Whats more, a dramatic discount will be given to bulk orders.
L1 will be produced with our state-of-art chip powered by the 28nm tech process. The efficiency is only 2.37J/MH at Core Voltage 0.81v on chip level. The Core Voltage and Hash Rate will be adjustable by software, over clocking and under clocking will be very easy to operate while miners trade-off the speed and efficiency. Moreover, the miner will be able to mine multifarious scrypt based altcoin, of which scrypt length can be 1024, 2048, 4096 (n = 10, 11 or 12).

The above miners are confirmed to have been released and both able to mine Garlicoin. Scrypt-n is certainly ASIC broken, miners that can mine Garlicoin exist already too and more could be created as well.

There are other SCRYPT-N ASICs that were advertised but I don't have confirmation about their releases (all listed below). A user in this thread talked about the following having been released:

Anyone knows about the future plan of the dev, so that those who invested in this coin will not lose the trust they have.

Old ASICs for this algo cost less than $100 and do 5-35 MH/s

which ASICs do scrypt-n?

Triton, Notus etc https://forum.bitmmgp.ru/vse-asiki-dlja-majninga-bitkoin.t184/

Taking a second look at this, how could the devs have overlooked this. Didn't Vertcoin switch from that algo for that very reason? Because ASICs for it were hitting the market. They were rendered useless pretty quickly though.

May be dev team have a lot of this ASIC so they choose this algo. In fact this ASICs was created by only one Estonian/Russian company some years ago and now you cant buy this new ASIC. I have bouhgt in Moscow 6 used Tritons fo $80-110 each. Each give 5-12 Mh/s (suppose some chips already broken) in Scrypt-N.

More over, http://blissdevices.com/ and https://www.flowertechnology.com/have been talked about by different companies but most seem to have vanished after vertcoin and its forked switched algos back in the day so I can't vouch for their validity as there aren't enough records.

There's also a company that has a working prototype and upcoming releases https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYuv93BHqu0

We're on the frontpage of /r/garlicoin. How cool.
https://www.reddit.com/r/garlicoin/comments/7vgoxu/this_probably_isnt_helping_us/

Hey /r/garlicoin Redditors, I expect you to flood this thread with new bitcointalk accounts. Please do, registration button on the top left.
In the meantime, why not tell Garlicoin's ~~developer~~ dictator to actually devote some time in picking a non-broken, ASIC resistant algorithm and incentivize a hardfork? Would you risk getting banned on the Subreddit by telling the truth about this coin's fate if it isn't forked? Hint: It'll die if it won't be forked.

Does a screenshot help? I mean all you had to do was go to the discord and check the announcements... this really isn't hard. I think you just don't care for garlic.

Thanks for the screenshot but the developer is clearly trying to calm the crowd by spreading misinformation. KNC miner and L1 are able to mine garlicoin and scrypt-n is certainly ASIC broken. It should be the developer's #1 priority to try and upgrade the coin instead of spreading misinformation and denying facts. Makes me think they aren't just ignorant as their propaganda seems deliberate at this point. Why else wouldn't they admit it if it was a mistake?

According to that thread Bitmain NEVER delivered that product. So nice background check again. Or lying intentionally, i don't know.
