First, that's antihyperlinked :<
Second, I'd rather see an ARM port, or possibly a SPARC port than a Cell port >.>

If you didn't update and still have Linux installed, normally it should work. But Linux on ps3 only uses a verry small portion of the cpu, so I think you wont get a lot of khash/sec. It would take verry long to generate coins and the ps3 uses a lot of electricity, so it wouldn't be the cheapest way of generating coins. If we could use all the cores it would be an other story  |

Surely the "ultimate bitcoin generator" will inevitably be a dedicated chip? That's always going to beat a general-purpose opcode-driven CPU. Of course, dedicated silicon is expensive to develop...

FPGAs will be where it's at. But yes, they are VERY expensive though they can do a LOT with just a tiny bit of power. |

Seriously? Your first post was necro'ing a nearly 4 year old post that is also totally irrelevant to today's mining scene?  |

So if you can't even unlock this device full potential, why bother? CELL in theory is powerful CPU, and it is still only theory without proper software.
