Second, I'd rather see an ARM port, or possibly a SPARC port than a Cell port >.> Title: Re: The ultimate bitcoin generator? Post by: 0x0 on July 15, 2010, 06:19:40 PM Will the unix' version of bitcoin work on PS3? ???
Title: Re: The ultimate bitcoin generator? Post by: Anonymous on July 16, 2010, 05:01:43 AM Will the unix' version of bitcoin work on PS3? ??? I think Sony just removed the option for installing linux on your playastation.boo! Title: Re: The ultimate bitcoin generator? Post by: 0x0 on July 16, 2010, 07:47:04 AM Only in new versions ;)

It might if you build it from source.Title: Re: The ultimate bitcoin generator? Post by: skull88 on August 03, 2010, 11:53:32 AM 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 :) Title: Re: The ultimate bitcoin generator?

Yup, the real strength would be CUDA/OpenCL enhanced code making use of the Graphics Cards.But Linux on ps3 only uses a verry small portion of the cpu, so I think you wont get a lot of khash/sec.

Post by: ribuck on August 09, 2010, 11:50:49 AM 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...

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. Title: Re: The ultimate bitcoin generator? Post by: Anonymous on August 11, 2010, 10:20:38 AM I wonder how many k/hashes this computer would do?

Your first post was necro'ing a nearly 4 year old post that is also totally irrelevant to today's mining scene?http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/4355/1145798-941670_937204_facepalm_implied_super_super.jpg Title: Re: The ultimate bitcoin generator?
