 Q: Can I mine scrypt with FPGAs or ASICs?
 Q: Can I mine scrypt with FPGAs or ASICs?
-A: Currently no. Bitcoin ASICs are only useful for SHA256d systems and FPGAs
-generally aren't designed to handle scrypt efficiently.
+A: BFGMiner supports scrypt mining using DualMiner USB sticks, based on the
+Gridseed GC3355 ASIC.
