Wasn't Litecoin supposed to be CPU exclusive? Whatever happened to that?
there's no reason why an application-specific integrated circuit couldn't be a type of central processing unit.

I having BFL SHA256 single on order. Very nice if can work for litecoin 
I believe what you meant to say was: "If there is a Litecoin GPU miner, then Litecoin FPGAs/ASICS are also possible"
Um no. Actually there is no prerequisite of having a GPU miner in order for ASICs to exist for Litecoin. The whole point of an ASIC is that it is APPLICATION SPECIFIC (not GPU specific). Having a GPU miner only makes the hashing faster (like 10 times or whatever). People can still hash on a cpu, they dont need a GPU.
Anyways did you have anything intelligent to say instead of attempting to correct my perfectly logical OP.
If so, I'd like to hear your thoughts, otherwise please dont post.
There is enough drama on this forum already, don't need anymore BS.
Thanks!
that's not the impression you gave him.
you gave him the impression that ASICs are only possible if GPU mining is possible... but GPU mining has nothing to do with it.

Um not grammar but perhaps my view/thinking on the topic?

It would be possible, but the memory use could add to the price or speed bottleneck

I wanted to open up discussion on this topic early on because it seems its taking a while for the Bitcoin ASICs to get produced.
What are your thoughts on Litecoin ASICs?
If there can exist Bitcoin ASICs there also can exist Litecoin ASICs.
Open thread...
Please no Solidcoin bashing or Litecoin bashing. Let's keep this discussion professional.
