the cuda cards are killing bitcoin, why bother?
They chose the space too small? I don't really know which algorithms Bitcoin uses. CUDA isn't that much, for many problems we've got at work it only provides a 10x speedup. Presumably for brute-force searches it could do a 100x speedup. Why is Bitcoin vulnerable to only a couple of orders magnitude faster systems?
