Title: TWINKLE for Bitcoin mining Post by: el_rlee on March 04, 2013, 11:24:27 AM Hi Bitcoiners, I know that SHA256 hashing is different from RSA cracking, but still the question bothers me. Would a device like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TWINKLE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TWINKLE) be somehow suitable for mining?

This device speeds up the performance of testing individual integers for primality. It wouldn't help mining.

SHA has no known cycles. And if any are ever found, they won't survive the double hash. |
