Title: Quick question Post by: sLide. on September 22, 2012, 02:34:38 AM Has anyone that's a developer thought of using Ps3's to mine bitcoins? A while back, the military wanted to test about 300 of them for a cheap, small, portable SC. Wouldn't we be able to design a install to mine for us? Just thinking... ???

It doesn't have much power. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison Scroll to the bottom. It all needs custom firmware. Its 21 mhash, or 26.6 mhash with unlocked core.
