Whats up everyone. i found this site the other day just messing around. I got very interested when i found out you could mine on ps3's. so i guess im wondering if theres a guide for this? any step by steps? Im not completely unfamiliar with linux i just dont know where the files i need are. Anyone willing to help or guide me in the right direction would get free logos of there choice. Ill made some for everyone really :)

I feel like this is the future so i dont mind putting my part in to "get in" ;)

There's not really a guide at the moment, but you'll find most of what you need in this thread (https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=4704.0).

The mining code itself can be found on GitHub (https://github.com/verement/cellminer).

Possibly off-topic, but don't update the firmware on those. Sony will disable Other OS, Certain TVs not using HDCP, and PS2 backward compatibility.
