Dual mining technologies on a single chip is not a good idea, there are almost no common parts between the two hashing engines, the silicon for the scrypt engine is a waste of space unless LTC price goes up considerably. Also, the scrypt engine will be relatively power hungry.
...As for SFARDS I wish them good luck with their chip, especially with routing it.
i agree. There's very little real benefit to this compared to simply having seperate sha256 and scrypt mining devices. pretty sure whatever gridseeds are still in use are 100% dedicated to BTC at this point.
I am holding lot of hope for them. They really did a great product last time with the small ones then the blades. Price I can't blame them on all scrypt did it.
I would be happy if they made a miner that made scrypt profitable. I would love to mine it again.
The BTC side we can hope for some efficiency, as it seems right now were kinda in between generations.
