List of Feathercoin FPGA/ASIC miners
-
I’ve just bought a Gridseed, which seems OK and will be more efficient, than my blown GPU cards it replaces. Current policy is to update Feathercoin in the next major version so it is Litecoin ASIC resistant, though. So I’ll have to retire it or try it with Litecoin, where it probably won’t be very effective, soon.
I still think the scrypt ASIC compatibility could be a good option for Feathercoin . However, Feathercoin would have to develop a distributed set of ASICs to prevent take over of the network by big actors. This could be done by open hardware development of a combined Merchant solution which included an ASIC miner set up. This could give the wider distribution of small miners that is needed for a secure long term system and be something merchants could easily set up.

I’ll hold 100MHash/s by end of July… I know it’s nothing compared to what can be thrown at us but yeah.

If we don’t change algo’s in time, just tell me where to point em.

Totally agree with the merchant thing… Ultimately all this hardware will make an epic “Merchant FTC Starter Kit.”
If your gonna have your ftc Point of Sales, and your FTC ATM, you may aswell have your NeoScrypt ASIC to go with the setup. It would probably be best if we could come up with a merchant package… Comes with everything they need…
Maybe by the end of the year we can have all this hardware sorted out and can offer a package somehow. Whether it be assemble yourself, or we have a team of say UM, his dev, etc, and they can collect a commission for assembly (provided they had time). Or anyone could do it really. If it’s all open source people can have the option of buying outright and paying the extra, or they can assemble the equipment themselves by ordering all the parts…

If Chirale is up to it then this topic is ready for one big update due all the recent mining devices falling from the sky!
-
Has been unpinned as it no longer applies due to the fact that we have moved over to a more advanced algorithm called NeoScrypt which can not currently be mined with any generation of ASIC’s.

Feathercoin 1 - ASIC 0
Ha ha ha -
lol, fuck that expensive crap :)
-
Muhahaha
-
Perfect time to buy ‘old’ scrypt asics and rent them out to nicehash :)
-
Not that I’m aware of. But then, if someone did, I’d expect them to keep it hush.
-
it is possible to mine with my g-blade gridseed ??
-
it is possible to mine with my Asicminer Block Erupter ??
-
@agum NO

@agum: To explain Mirrax precise and correct answer:
Feathercoin uses the Neoscrypt hashing algorithm, which is not supported my any ASIC. Therefore it is not possible to mine Feathercoins with an ASIC, like Gridseed or Block erupter.
