Could you tell me how to use Bitcoin ASIC for brute force?

Can this be used for vanity address generation?

Its gone live… This is gridseed running 930 MH of scrypt asic.

Everyone better be glad they’re not in the same room as me.

I’m making some [i]noises[/i].

They can’t put this stuff up for sale fast enough.

It’s crap. Costs $4270 for 3.6MH/s LTC.

True it doesn’t seem to be cost effective for anyone to pay those prices. The chips probably cost near nothing to print and gridseed will only sell when its much more profitable than mining themselves, hence the high price. At prices like that, GPUs are a way better investment. Even if electricity is too high to mine, it makes much more sense to buy ftc than buy one of these. And the argument “buying crypto is too risky because if it fails you have nothing” also applies here. If crypto fails these will have zero resale value since they are specialized for mining. So again, you are better off buying the coins. Hence, the only reason to buy one would be for the novelty/hobby value.

at least, BitCoin’s ASIC might be useful for things like bruteforcing…
there are still MANY database out there that utilize SHA256 without a seed. An ASIC with 600GH/s (2k USD) can easily bruteforce 10 characters or more within days.

Given the fact that people have done it with a GPU cluster of 5 (6 billion calculation/s each), for Windows XP/Vista/7 password. 600GH is 100x more each!

EDIT2 (January 6 2014):
I think seriously about starting development of MultiCoin wallet. Solving funding issue now. I think seriously about creation of funding project on bitcoinstarter.com or similar site to help with funding of this project.

Thinking whether it would not be good to create some introductory video to help with funding on bitcoinstarter.com or similar site to attract people and explain the features. Would somebody here who could help?

MultiCoin wallet is going to be open source project as was already written.

There will be options like memory wallets, paper wallets, paper backup, etc.

Even if it’s possible, I’m not sure if its a good idea to have all your coins in a single wallet. 8)

Will be supported.

The wallet works with DOGE coins , but don’t with Feathercoin , that’s a shame :|
[/quote]

FTC will be added as well all possible coins step by step. However big community support will be needed.

[quote name=“BikerGSX” post=“49586” timestamp=“1388787694”]
Welcome; sounds great, but would this be possible? :-\
If it is, only if you add FTC.
[/quote]

No, it will be light way wallet like electrum.

[quote name=“Pryderi” post=“49487” timestamp=“1388752509”]
This might be a stupid question, but do we have to sync with all the blocks of every coin every time we open the wallet? If no, OK! If yes, this might cause unpleasant queue’s for using the wallet.

It would be [b]light way client[/b].
Would allow to make [b]paper wallets[/b].
Would allow to make [b]hot[/b], [b]watch only[/b] and [b]cold storage wallets[/b].
[b]Multi signature signing of transactions[/b] which could be [b]combination of signatures[/b] from paper wallets, mobile devices wallets and pc, mac, linux wallets.
Supported platforms - [b]cross platform support[/b]: [b]Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iOS, Android[/b], possibly more in the future.
