: Automatically disconnects idle workers and provides detailed per-GPU statistics. Essential Setup for GPU Mining
The software utilized the scrypt algorithm, which is memory-hard (requiring significant RAM usage compared to SHA-256). This was designed to be resistant to the centralization that plagued Bitcoin, though eventually, Scrypt ASICs were developed, rendering GPU mining for Litecoin obsolete. Scrypt ASICs were developed
The Digital Pickaxe: A Legacy of CGMiner 3.7.2 in the Scrypt Era Scrypt ASICs were developed
