how hard will it be to convert this to litecoin mining? (scrypt) #1

scrypt cpu is much more useful :)

tuomas56 commented 11 years ago

not that hard at all, i will create a scrypt branch

tuomas56 commented 11 years ago

although, having said that there is no scrypt documentation anywhere

tuomas56 commented 11 years ago

ok have found a library that supports scrypt, will get on it

markudevelop commented 11 years ago

wow sounds good! :+1: I would love to see that =)

tuomas56 commented 11 years ago

it is a bit more compilicated than i thought but still making progress. i am using native code so it should be 10x faster than pure c sharp. still slow though

i have a scrypt experimental version, but it is not ready to upload. also since this runs on the .NET platform it is really really really really really slow. i mean like properly extra super slow, so its not really worth it.

how slow? Can I test?

tuomas56 commented 11 years ago

there is still a bug which prevents it from mining at all, i will fix that first. i have not managed to test it myself but i know it will be slow, probably about 200 hashes a second i'm guessing

is there any reason why you need it?
