usb-dualminer-asic-on-ebay

The first Dualminer USB ASIC devices that can simultaneously mine Litecoins (LTC) and Bitcoins (BTC) and alternative crypto currencies based on scrypt and SHA-256 that we’ve already mentioned here have started appearing on eBay. These devices based on a single Gridchip GC3355 processor chip from Gridseed are rated as capable of: 500MH/s SHA-256 and 40KH/s Scrypt when operating for mining both, or 1.6GH/s when mining only BTC or 70KH/s when mining only LTC. Again, price wise these are not very interesting products, unless you want to be able to try the Gridseed chips and see how well they can perform. What would be more interesting are multiple-chip devices that offer significantly higher performance, but the good thing is that things are finally happening for Gridseed and we are actually seeing devices based on their innovative dual mining SHA-256 and Scrypt at the same time Gridchip GC3355 chips.

orbitcoin-scrypt-crypto

Orbitcoin (ORB) goal is to be used on both darknets like I2P, TOR and others, also the normal internet/clearnet + in outer Earth orbit. At the current moment it works with SOCKS over I2P/TOR. Native support to I2P should be in place soon. It’s an advanced scrypt based POS/POW coin, And has some nice features from other coins too. Our promise to the Bitcoin community is simple any services the Orbitcoin foundation makes will take both BTC and ORB payments. This is by far this first crypto coin to truly help science, the foundations mission goal is to help fund open source science, and bring some of that power back to the people!
