I was being harsh, the analogy wasn't that bad
That's a terrible analogy lol!
And the algorithm is important. Otherwise these guys will leave here thinking bitcoin ASICs can't mine terracoins...
Algorithm is important, the difference between the two is not... just know that SHA256 ASICs can mine SHA256 coins.
If someone ever develops a Scrypt ASIC then it can mine Scrypt coins...
I admittedly suck at analogies
I love it when people keep asking this question, and they just get a shitload of "no"
But no one pipes up and explains when (from a technical standpoint)

Well if they can't decipher that a SHA256 ASIC device cannot solve a Scrypt algorithm... what can you really say besides "no" ?
Most people who would ask this question wouldn't know the difference between sha256 or scrypt.
So go on then, be useful and explain the difference to the noob.
The difference in the algorithms is meaningless.
The definition of ASIC is important.
You can't use an Spanish to English dictionary to communicate efficiently in Japanese.

They could, but it would take thousands of custom designed controllers to turn them into shift registers, and thousands of ASICs just to do the job of a typical CPU. I doubt anyone would ever try.

Of course You can. It will do it if You are doing following movements in parallel:
-right hand on top of the head with repeated vertical movement
-left hand circular movements around belly
-eye balls moving as fast as possible (faster movement -> faster hash rate) in a way of forming layed down number 8 representing infinity of scrypt mining
Sorry,... i couldn't resist...

and i was thinking u just signed up on the forum .... how can u ask that with activity 185 ? LOL
All TX and no RX, probably.

Wow, you're only the tenth person to ask, and the answer is still no.
They're a chip designed to do one thing, and one thing only. That's mine Bitcoins (or other pointless SHA256 altcoins).

If asic supports searching from memory , then it should be. Currently only general beling like CPU, GPU does the thing.
ASIC is not GOD. It is a form of idea.
if specfic being available, then the performance I guess, 25%-40% of what bitcoin acceralator does.

no
as of right now as far as i know its not possible
Can the asic miners mine scrypt currencies ?
i mean supposed the there is a new software version for enabling them to mine SCRYPT currencies (which is a lot) ?
and if yes then at what performance?
my question is mainly about the usb miners but it would be good to have an overall idea
