Speaking on the ASIC on the first page, what are these ASICs?
Are they dedicated co-processors on a small PCB?
Basically correct.
Fortunately they don't work for LTC mining

Well thats the thing, why would Eclipse allow you to login and start hashing shares? I don't think they specifically say that you need to make a new worker... slush's pool guides you through the worker creation process after you create an account.I never had an issue with Eclipse once I got the workers set properly. My problem was I wasn't using my individual workers as User/PW but was trying to use my account. After I fixed that, it worked fine.

yet.
Existing ASICs wont either as LTC mining is a lot more memory intensive so the existing ASICs are physically limited from being effecting LTC miners. Now eventually someone will probably attempt the endeavor but id be curious to see how much it ends up costing to get one. Right now though, ill stick with my GPU mining rigs and anticipate a decent ROI rate...especially if Mt.Gox unfucks itself, stops crashing, and adds LTC as their next cryptocurrency.
Tweak the die, add some memory and there you go a $1200 LTC capable upgrade module for your ASIC mining rigs.
Hmm. I'm sitting on effectively an entire secondary i7-2600K/R6990 rig at the moment; obviously I'm not going to make mad money unless the market goes boing!, but can I at least balance out my electric bill after a month or two?
Seeing how long it took them to get ASICs out for BTC, I doubt LTC will come out anytime soon.
fwiw 5870s and even 5970s are cheap on ebay right now
could amd release an optimized bitcoin mining software that would be way faster than what it's available ?
think of the amount of video cards they would sell if they pulled it off
i don't think they want to encourage prolonged 100% GPU usage on cards that already run pretty hot while only gaming (bitcoin/litecoin stresses the card as much if not more than furmark does)
It's looking like Slush's server is down right now.. So should I stop my miner until things recover or will my share's be uploaded when the server comes online?
This should probably be a new thread, but how do these mining pools work? Do people like me with small megahash power get shafted?
So how much money are you guys making per month mining? Is it worth doing casually and just letting it run to make a few extra bucks a month?

So true.
