THE FUTURE OF SCRYPT MINING
Lokotech Scrypt ASIC ~0.0726 J/MH
Hashrate 1.9968 GH/s @ 145W +/- 10%
Unparalleled efficiency on a GPU style hashblade that retrofits into existing hardware by connecting directly into a PCIe X1 slot. Cooled by either air or immersion.
https://www.lokotech.com/This could be a scamBut this FPGA has very good characteristics and they outperform ASICs in energy efficiency.
Don't buy until you see reviews and make sure the supplier is honest!That will be a long wait, shipping only in late 2024.
I like the form factor if it's legit. I've mentioned before ASIC miners should use the GPU model with commodity add-in cards.
Maybe others will follow.
The efficiency depends on the ASIC chips and there aren't many companies capable of doing that. It shouldn't be too hard
to track down if the chips are real.
The scam part maybe in the timing. The big guys will likely be first in line so by late 2024 they may already be uncompetitive.
PS: ASIC is Application Specific Integrated Circuit and can only mine one algorithm, FPGA is Field Programmable Gate Array
and can be reprogrammed to mine different algos. This device is an ASIC mining board, the only way to change algos is to
change the HW. ASICS are inherently more efficient and cheaper, the flexibility of FPGA has a cost.
