“Mining a Bitcoin is hard for a typical computer to do. A computer has to solve a series of difficult cryptography problems and most computers don’t have the computational power to do that.

(Such chips are called ASICs which stands for ‘Application-Specific Integrated Circuit.’) These computers do only one job: mine Bitcoins. We asked cofounder Andreas Kennemer about the business of Bitcoin computers.”
