I remember back in the days the DirecTV cards having asic chips in them
You "had to have an asic" no matter what- even if you used emulation... you could emulate everything BUT the asic

Well, I don't suppose that the asic from those cards would be worth anything for bitcoin mining... right? It's application specific something or other and the one on that smartcard probably has no real computing ability or anything??

Just thinking out loud (agaiN)
