Title: Hard Drive Mining? Post by: BitshireHashaway on June 13, 2013, 12:38:05 AM Would it be feasible to make a coin that mines using your hard drive and if so, what would go into making one. Not the actual code but for example how would it mine using your hard drive?
Ok... New Idea: What if you were paid a certain amount of coins per unit of information that you store on your harddrive. This information could be used sort of like a cloud server where the company doesn't buy hard-drives, your the hard-drive, and you get paid for being the hard-drive. Title: Re: Hard Drive Mining?

Title: Re: Hard Drive Mining? Post by: FiiNALiZE on June 13, 2013, 12:45:34 AM LOL how about you mine with your case fan instead?
3000rpm can give you a lot of hash power :D Title: Re: Hard Drive Mining? Post by: Darktongue on June 13, 2013, 12:54:53 AM Make a coin that pays active nodes for uploading the blockchain for said coin to other nodes and there you have some primative "hard drive mineing" I think a test of dropping a percent of coin to fulltime nodes is something that really needs to be looked into. The list of trusted nodes os based on founding members and die hard supporters. But they won't be around forever.
An incentive to leave your node up would add strength to a network. Title: Re: Hard Drive Mining?

I was wondering if we could create a coin that is set up to mine either my fan or my PS2 outlets. How would we set that up? Maybe we can plug outdated mice into the PS2 plugs and depending on how fast we can move the mouse back and forth we could write an algo to create a hash rate out of that. As far as fan mining I figure with CPU and GPU the only thing that really happens is the processors just run at full speed and coins are made. So what if we create a fan mined coin? We could just run our fans at 100% and Im sure some sort of coin is bound to show up somewhere. an hero Title: Re: Hard Drive Mining?

Post by: baritus on June 13, 2013, 01:06:52 AM You do know mining a coin already uses hard drives, actually everything done on a computer pretty much does.
But the coins use it for what it should be used for, storing massive blockchains that grow infinitely. Title: Re: Hard Drive Mining? Post by: dmatthewstewart on June 13, 2013, 01:17:07 AM Title: Re: Hard Drive Mining? Post by: dmatthewstewart on June 13, 2013, 01:21:25 AM PS/2 COINS are HERE!!
Are your bread loaves sad??? Why? Plug your mouse in and make FUCKING COINS!! https://i.imgur.com/yfqKkmP.jpg Title: Re: Hard Drive Mining? Post by: Eli0t on June 13, 2013, 01:28:42 AM DefragCoin

Title: Re: Hard Drive Mining? Post by: whitedragon on June 13, 2013, 01:47:14 AM No hard drive mining but there is a new coin getting released later today called HertzCoin (HZC) that mines using your monitor's refresh rate. Multiple monitor setups will mine faster.
Make sure you get in early...I hear a major rental car company is going to accept them at launch. I also heard there is going to be a HZC fontas pump in 24 hours. Oh and they'll be coming to Gox next week, CONFIRMED! Title: Re: Hard Drive Mining?

Post by: owsleybeatsbigcartel on June 13, 2013, 01:51:14 AM Technically, instead of "proof of work", we could have "proof of storage". The only problem with this is, we need it to be easy to verify. Proof of work is easy to verify because you have to do TONS of hashes to find one that's under the target, but you only have to do one hash to check if it is under the target. With proof of storage, it is impossible (AFAIK) to verify that someone has some data unless you have the same data, byte for byte. You might say, "but we could just store a hash of the data and ask them for that!" but then THEY could just store a hash of the data, and give it to you. ~geezacoin lol 8)Title: Re: Hard Drive Mining?

Hmmm Nvidia coin.. this is a great idea actually. I have only seen it from the side that we need to improve the miner (ie cudaminer) but havent looked at it this way except that I believe Curecoin was supposed to be better on Nvidia Title: Re: Hard Drive Mining? Post by: GSnak on June 13, 2013, 01:52:06 AM Have the hash written to a random sector of the HD, then the first HD that finds it gets the block reward.

Title: Re: Hard Drive Mining? Post by: snowcrashed on June 13, 2013, 02:32:15 AM Actually I am close to being done my hard-drive based miner prototype. I'm calling it the NotAScam2000. I'm using an external hard-drive as the engine for portability and low power consumption. Rough estimates of performance are between 100Mhs and 100Ghs. Compatible with SHA and Scrypt mining. Starting pre-orders tomorrow.
