Again, I can't fathom you pro-asic people's logic when it comes to GPUs. When ASICs are in use, GPUs become useless. I'm not talking value of the coin, I'm talking value of mining hardware. What is the point of BUYING GPU cards when you can't make PROFIT from a GPU card??? Only gamers will be left if ASICs take over again. Fucking seriously, how do you not get this? Shocked

New alt currency idea! Maybe we should make ASICC; ASIC Coin! Buy ASICs from a store with it.  Roll Eyes
Asics will not be able to mine GPUC. In their current configuration asics will only be able to mine plain scrypt coins like LTC and DOGE. They will not be able to mine scrypt-N, scrypt-jane, X11 or hefty1. There may at some time in the future scrypt miners for these other coins but that is a long way off.
Yes, but people are arguing that GPUC should be Scrypt, that ASICs would HELP us. When the point is PRO GPUs... just no logic involved with this argument.

I don't see why you are corelating the sale of Graphic cards with GPUC and the mining hardware required to obtain GPUC. A graphic card is just like any other valuable product like a processor or a hard disk. Its quite a narrow vision you got there if you think GPUC should only be obtained using a graphics card. That's like saying coal miners should use coal powered drilling equipments to mine coal... makes absolutely no sense. You use the best and most efficient method. And with that, you get rewarded with a Graphics card.

It superficially sounds right in proclaiming rhetoric like GPUC is for buying GPU, or else what's the point etc. Its doomed to fail because its artificially inflating the cost of obtaining the GPUC, and expecting "patriotism" to drive the miners. It needs to make economical sense foremost, and if pointing your rigs to a multipool is more profitable, then that's the way it will go.
