Make something requiring huge LUTs, and in-memory access. That is not ASICable or FPGAble.
not. But at least we can make a hash that either guarantees GPU-only for a few years, or one that's hardcoded to match Moore's Law so it'll always stay ahead of the curve (bearing in mind Bunnie's plausible suggestion that Moore's Law is levelling off: http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=1863 )
Doubling rate is now 3 years by end of this year instead of 18 months, according to AMD. Moore is dead, long live Moore (in 3d volume integration of molecular components, coming in a couple decades).
