Title: STMicroelectronics STM7007 mining? Post by: Reclaim3r on July 16, 2014, 07:56:55 PM Title says all. Is the STM7007 capable of profitable SHA256 mining or other coin mining? I know Memorycoin needs AES, but I'm still somewhat of a noob ;)
Some info is here: http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/mmc/FM143/CL1814/SC1537/PF252558 (http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/mmc/FM143/CL1814/SC1537/PF252558) Oddly enough, I don't see very many pictures of the actual physical chip. Somewhat concerning but I think it might have a bit hope in the mining area. Title: Re: STMicroelectronics STM7007 mining?

I have realized that when I first posted it but the datasheets I have been able to find appear scarce in necessary information. I've supplied the best I could find in the links below http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140sp/140sp1599.pdf (http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140sp/140sp1599.pdf) http://elcodis.com/parts/6133108/stm7007.html#datasheet (http://elcodis.com/parts/6133108/stm7007.html#datasheet) Title: Re: STMicroelectronics STM7007 mining?

Dedicated hardware is always going to be billions of times faster and more efficient (without exaggeration).

Dedicated hardware is always going to be billions of times faster and more efficient (without exaggeration). I was already aware of that ( thanks for helping out on my previous question :-) from a few posts ago, but considering the STM7007 has the ability to performing other cryptographic functions I was just curious if it had any correlations to other altcoins. If it doesn't, then I guess I'll drop my hope of off-the-shelf commodity hardware for now.... ( looking forward to the SHA3 hardware implementations. From what I've heard, Virginia Tech has already fabricated a few but it looks more like proof of concept then something ready to hit full on manufacturing ) |
