The custom chips can only do one thing: the production of virtual currency.

Digital ASIC design of Guo Yifu called Avalon V1, its virtual currency production speed is 50 times the current most advanced production equipment, it can provide a more attractive price. Compared with the CPU based device, integrated circuit to lower power consumption. But Avalon V1 is not able to play any games for PC.

In the currency industry, becoming the first to provide the new technology to the consumer, is definitely a big news.

Notes.

Virtual currency bitcoin is one form of P2P. Point-to-point transmission means a decentralized payment system. Bitcoin not rely on Issuing specific monetary institutions, it through a large amount of calculation of a specific algorithm, bitcoin economy use distributed database composed of many nodes in the P2P network to identify and record all trading activity. P2P to the center of the characteristics and the algorithm itself can ensure that cannot be manufactured by bitcoin mass manipulated currency. Based on the cryptography design can make bitcoins can only be true ownership transfer or payment. It also ensures that the anonymity of the ownership and the transaction currency circulation.

The currency and other virtual currency is different, its total quantity is very limited, with the scarcity of strong. The monetary system in the first 4 years of no more than 10500000, the total number will be permanently limited in 21000000. At one point, you can use the computer to produce coins. At present, the currency exchange rate against the dollar at about 13.
