Re: Is it possible to use an ASIC miner to crack a wallet.dat lost password?

Why Bitcoin mining ASICs won't crack your password
In other words it should be some particular ASIC especially designed for passwords' bruteforce. Random old ASIC-miner unlikely would be suitable for this since it basically works according to another scheme.

Thanks - that answers it perfectly and explains why a miner can't be used for password cracking. It wasn't the answer I was hoping for but at least I know I need to look in another direction
