Ok maybe you misunderstand... I am coming from a business point of view.
I think you are coming from a 'there's an app for that' point of view
maybe you can just outsource this?
I get your smart-assness.... I'm the same way. So I'm not gonna whine. LOL
I sort of am coming from that angle... Meaning I would think there was some other chip other than those in GPU etc that would be suited for hashing.
But as someone else in this thread just explained and clarified. The chip itself is specifically designed for hashing bitcoins, therefore no, there is no other chips out there that could do specifically what a BitCoin miner is looking for.
