Maybe its a noob question, but I woke up this morning wondering: what if somebody makes an ASIC to instead of mining, destroy Bitcoin from the inside...?
There are ASICs out there with capabilities of TH/s, if someone applies this to hash cracking, it becomes a bit dangerous, no?
That would be 1000000000000 hash cracking attempts per second.
Your thoughts?
What do you consider "hash cracking"? Bitcoin mining is essential that, at least to my understanding. A miner hashes certain data until a hash is found that is smaller than a certain number.
