[quote]Each ASIC chip would perform at a MINIMUM of 500 kh/s, at around ~20 watts. With multiple chips on a PCI-E card we can reach 5,000 kh/s (200 watts) â€" 10,000 kh/s (400 watts) or HIGHER. The price you pay for each device will be in ratio lower per kilohash than say an [b]AMD 7950[/b]. [/quote]

Like other Scrypt ASIC’s in production, there’s yet to be any solid pricing (from what I can find anyway).

I’m pretty confident that I, like many, wont have the funds for this new tech.

It raises the question though, will we see the price of Scrypt’s jump when the network hash rate climbs?

I know very little about watts to hashrate and profitability etc, but I’m thinking it’s safe to assume that many will be left behind.

Thoughts people?

there are rumors about scrypt ASICS time by time.

I take it as it is… a rumor until I see an ASIC miner offered.

The idea is there, but it’s a long way till a product is designed… 8)
