I have a Dash wallet from years ago and I can't find the password to it. I was able to dump the hash (parts between periods have been substituted):

Code:
$bitcoin$64$...64-hex-chars...$16$...16-hex-chars...$190170$2$00$2$00

Is it possible to use an ASIC miner, like an old Jalepeno, to crack the hash? I'm using btcrecover and it won't work with my GPU, and hashcat wants a bitcoin hash to begin with $bitcoin$96, so I'm looking for other options. I figured since the password I'm trying to crack is SHA-256 based, maybe an ASIC miner could help?
