The miner's hardware then repeatedly attempts different nonce values, aiming to create a block hash that meets the network's current difficulty target. The Scrypt algorithm makes intensive use of ...

At bitcoin's current price and network difficulty, the network is generating ... Using Radeon R9 280x GPUs to mine scrypt is becoming fairly inefficient due to the rise of the Gridseed miners.

In short, they tell that in the next half a year difficulty won’t reach the powers of Scrypt ASICs. MAT claim that machines they are shipping will still be the most cost/power efficient on the ...

There are still no ASIC products for scrypt, litecoin's algorithm ... the litecoin hash rate has doubled, along with difficulty. It was practically flat in September and October.
