X13 is dead for "normal" miners already.. unfortunately...

so x11 and x13 is dead for gpu but not for FPGA mining. is that correct?

you mean broke miners.

You need to pay to play nowadays. I don`t own a farm but I had to rent 330mhash for this coin, and I paid top dollar. Someone is on suprnova with 4ghash, it makes my 330mhash look like a single 6950.

Sorry kids, its a big boys game now, evolve or die.

This is the point..

Coins should switch algo's to PREVENT FPGA's mining the shit out of the coins.. This only happens as all the dev's simply clone one coin from the other..

Why not use Groestl, or a modified Keccak (SHA-3) algo where there is no FPGA-Bistream ... This way small time miners would also have a chance without investing or renting rigs...

Modifying the algo is really not that hard, it would at least last for one coin.. The big miners will adapt soon, but that is no problem if every (2nd) coin changes the algo again...

i doubt there are fpga for x13 already, come on it would be insane..., the x13 mania just started two days ago

one 280x can do 2.5M on x13, reaching 50 giga with those cards is not that crazy as you think

50 giga are like 20k 280x, 200 big farmers with 100 cards each is quite easy to achieve

the real problem are those big farms, that keeps adding gpu because they can make roi for each new rig very fast

I'm 99.99% sure there are bitstreams for FPGA's already (not ASICs!) as there were already some for X11.. X13 is nothing more than
X11 plus two algo's, MaruCoin is quite old already, so the devs had plenty of time rewriting the bistream.

In my opinion there is no FPGA on X13 atm.  There wasn't a succesful coin yet.
But soon there will be FPGA for all algos for GPU.
