This doesn't change the pools at all (pools don't change if everyone uses ASIC). This does probably signal the end of GPU mining though.

- tomjen3 13y agoFuck bitcoin, if custom chips are that much cheaper the GPU power in cracking hashes then most key streching algorithms are worthless.
- tomjen3 13y agoApparently people downvote me. I don't hate bitcoin, but if the relative power is true then this is so much bigger than bitcoin.
- dragontamer 13y agoLol. You made a good comment, I dunno why you got downvoted. One thing to note: key stretching is a good idea nonetheless. hashing ASICs will be millions of times slower _regardless_. They may be hundreds of times faster than a computer, and hundreds of times cheaper... but the effect doesn't get you what a good Bcrypt-difficulty 12 gets you (ie: key-stretching with ~4million hashes)
