This is just an idea, and I have no idea if it would work (that's why I'm asking):
**Would it be possible to use ASICs made for Bitcoin mining inside git-annex to offload the hashing of files?**
I got the idea, because I have two RaspberryPis here:
- one runs my git-annex archive. It is really slow at hashing, so I resorted to using the WORM backend
- another one runs 2 old-ish ASIC miners. They are just barely "profitable" right now, so in a few months they will be obsolete
Both devices to some kind of `SHA256`. I have a feeling this is either extremely easy or extremely complicated to do… :)
