Maybe, but the performance difference between a power-strapped smartphone CPU and an ASIC tailored for the specific task is so massive I doubt you could make it

Maybe, but the performance difference between a power-strapped smartphone CPU and an ASIC tailored for the specific task is so massive I doubt you could make it expensive enough for the latter while maintaining a reasonable experience for the former.
- IgorPartola 12y agoI see two solutions to it. First: have the phone include a chip specifically for doing this type of work. Second: make the calculation such that it cannot be performed faster on cheap hardware specialized for the task. I believe that is the peppery of scrypt, and the reason why we do not see LiteCoin ASIC's yet.
- tomjen3 12y agoYou just need to include scrypt in it somehow. You can't hardware paralize that because it is memory hard and memory isn't as easy to parallize.
