What Is ASIC Mining?

ASIC is Application-Specific Integrated Circuit. It's a computer designed to mine cryptocurrencies. ASICs, unlike regular computers or graphics card (GPUs), are designed to do only one thing: solve complex mathematical problems to verify cryptocurrency transactions.

ASIC miners, which are designed specifically for mining, are faster and more efficient compared to traditional mining hardware. ASIC miners can mine Bitcoins much faster and with less energy than other methods.
