X11 is easy for fpga, they are programable!
Even if all alt coins switch to scrypt-n there will be asics, fpgas, godzillas, tornados ...name it ... out there that will mine the shit out of the coins.
Thats life! Coins are money and where money can be made, ppl will find a way not to use GPU / CPU. And its better for mother nature. Wasting tons of electricity cant be the way....
scrypt-n require a very expensive asic to run, same for fpga, and scrypt-n can be changed fairly easy to avoid them every time
I know. You can change 1 byte in coinsource to change it. But thats not the point.
If there is a algo used by tons of coins, there will be asics and so on.
If there is money to be made, there will be guys making it.
Its always a race. But rly, the use of high end GPU to mine coins and waste so much power cant be the solution for the cryptos future.
Im happy with my gridseeds at 440mh/s right now, bought for 90$ and I just "waste" 6Watts of power.
So there will be a market for everybodys pocket. Asics for 10$ or 10000$ who cares.
i just don't like that an enviroment that was supposed to be decentralized, it results at the end, centralised
everyone should be able to mine without selling his family, and asic are certainly against this, just take a look at KNC miner with their space farm
p.s. you mean 440kh/s?
Yea sure, 440KH/s, sorry typo.
But isnt that nice ? You need to buy a GPU for 200$ to reach the same and waste 2-300 Watts of power for the same.
Sure its bad that ppl with money even make more money with asics, I totaly understand it. On a sidenote, a guy who invested millions in hardware, will not dump the coins for 1 satoshi as he has the value in asics in his server home......
