Re: [Batch 2 SOLD OUT] FutureBit Moonlander 2 Official Pre-order Thread
Bitshopper.de is out of stock from quite some time. Have they ordered any stock resupply from you?
And what do they mean
Yes they will have lots of stock available starting this weekAnd what do they mean

1 Futurebit Moonlander 2 (Edition bitshopper.de) in Aluminium box
What box?
Is it possible to get this to mine other algorithms that aren't Scrypt? Such as Cryptonight.
No. Asics are optimized for a specific algo. As to your example, Cryptonight is (ATM) Asic-resistant.Quote
This is usually achieved by requiring a lot of memory, which when implementing this on an ASIC, translates to needing lots of physical area on the chip.
ASIC implementations derive their power from having many physically parallel and pipelined threads on one chip, each requiring a certain piece of chip real estate. Now if your algorithm requires lots of real estate even for one step of the pipeline, there will not but much room to actually parallelize or pipeline the algorithm. Thereby you will lose the parallelizing advantage of an ASIC implementation.
