On: Ethereum Network Status

52.4 GH/s is a lot slower than I would expect for a coin with such a large following. Is the hashing algorithm not ASIC/GPU friendly?

nemo1618: The proof of work algo for ethereum is MUCH more difficult than in most other cryptocurrencies, leading to far lower aggregate hash numbers- If you want to compare it against BTC/LTC/etc you first need to correct for the average hash rate on a single mining PC for the given currency.

This is what I could find about mining ether: http://ethereum.gitbooks.io/frontier-guide/content/mining.ht...

GPU yes, ASIC no.
