Hi, I am new to this forum and I am interested in your topic. Are there any open source ASIC chip designs for bitcoin mining? I am guessing the latest ASIC chips being made by avalon and butterfly labs are being made out of silicon technology similar to designs used for CPUs. I am curious about whether or not design for these type of chips are being considered to be made out of GaAs or GaN. I know silicon has the superiority over GaAs as far is the ability to design complex integration of components, but I believe GaAs can perform much faster than silicon.
