Where do I get the an up-to-date list of ASIC supported coins?

I have searched Google but can't find a current list anywhere.

Thanks,


look like you have mess in vocabularies.

ASIC (aplication specific intergrated circuit) is piece of hardware

SHA & Scrypt is princip of coding (algorythm)
there are also other types
N-Scrypt (mine using GPU) X-11 (mine with CPU)

coinchoose.com is indeed a nice list of various coins

most ASICs  are made for solving SHA .. check this list https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

You can also take a look at www.coinchoose.com but I have to agree, coinwarz.com should be the best.

I may end up mining some of them then turning the coins in Bitcoin.

You may check coinwarz (http://www.coinwarz.com/) to get the most profitable coin at that moment, or use multipool (https://www.multipool.us) directly.
Absolutely check out coinwarz.com for decent list of alt's and what algorithms they use.

Also check out the following thread for a decent one-stop source for tons of info that is alt related.

Currently, only ASICs for SHA256 and Scrypt are officially being sold in the public markets. An SHA256 ASIC can be used to mine any SHA256-based coin, while a Scrypt ASIC can be used to mine any Scrypt-based coin. Why do you need a list?

Because I would like to see what other ASIC SHA256 coins there are out there. I may end up mining some of them then turning the coins in Bitcoin.

Coins that use SHA-256 or Scrypt can be mined with ASICs. SHA-256 ASICs can be used to mine SHA-256 coins like Bitcoin and Peercoin. Scrypt ASICs can be used to mine Scrypt coins like Litecoin and Dogecoin.

Check out Coinwarz.com. If a particular coin is labeled as being SHA-256 or Scrypt then it is mineable with ASICs.
