      If you could pick back up Link and Flux that would be awesome… I personally believe that it might just be what saves ftc in the end.

      Virtual devices out of asic chips… if you could give the old scrypt asics a new job, it would be massive… truly epic…

        The problem with ASICs is not massive power. It’s centralization and barriers to entry. Solve those two and you’re left with the only two problems that everyone has:

        #1: limited moral/ethical reasoning

        which proceeds from

        #2: limited imagination/experience.

          Well, I have some expensive paper weights ready to be experimented with…

            It appears Gridseed 5 and 80 chip are chip addressable but Zeus miner is not. I’ll see what I can do to fix that.

              Should be very interesting to see what you can do. If you can pull this off, it would be a very big deal.

                What has happened to this virtual devices idea ?

                  We have to nag the manufacturers to allow us to allocate individual blades or portions of blades in ASICs.

                    What does that mean?

                      The way blades work is they are assigned processing by the nonce itself. The nonce contains the address of which chip on which blade will process it. It’s well done, but hard to separate the blades into virtual machines.

                        So we are talking about changes on a hardware level or software ?

                          Need a way of programming the nonce while also keeping multiple connections open in the miner. Also it occurs to me multipooling should be done in the miner software.
