why Bitcoing mining hardware not supported from Hashcat - john99 - 09-30-2013

Hello,

What is the reason that Hashcat does not support Bitcoing mining hardware?
(such cards seems to be very powerful AND energy-cost effective :-)


Thank's for any feedback!

John

1. BFL never responded to our request for dev hardware to test with.

2. ASICs would only be good for the algo that the gates are programmed for.
