> thought that scrypt would prevent ASIC miners, I'm still amazed that people believed that. We've been pushing general purpose CPU's for decades because there is nothing novel or hard about making single purpose processors. I didn't realize you could just say random computing terms and people would believe you. "This is memory hard so therefore no ASIC (single purpose processor) could be made because memory is expensive" I like cryptocurrency but 2012-2014 was seriously like being on crazy pills listening to the fans.
