yea i was mining eth on it but switching to pos
really why is sha256 just not suited well for the gpu arch compared to Ethash? Is there that many more btc miners to make it that difficult? Seems like there is a lot of eth miners I would assume it would have the same issues
ahhh just saw the rest of your answer thanks I didnt know that
It's not that sha256 is not suited for GPU's - it's that the algo is very easily implemented in 'hard wired' ASIC's with out any of the other circuits and a GPU has in it.
Current
BTC hash rate is several 10's of ExaH/s so yes, its difficulty is *very* high.
