Title: Re: BitCoin Mining on Xbox 360 Post by: plumex on May 23, 2011, 12:04:53 PM maybe ps3?
XBOX360 must Jtag for freesoftware. but u can use linux on the ps3. Title: Re: BitCoin Mining on Xbox 360 Post by: Luke-Jr on May 23, 2011, 01:31:45 PM Based on the specs at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenos_(graphics_chip) , XBox360's GPU can probably manage a measley 7 MH/s.

But your computer no matter who you are is better than your xbox. The xbox doesn't need to run an OS or.. anything other than the disk it requires very little hardware.

It is the only legitimate way of running homebrew on an Xbox. You need a developer subscription to deploy software to the console but they can be obtained for free on Dreamspark.
Forget about using the GPU - it is more like an enhanced version of an ATI X1900. Gpgpu functionnality would have to be emulated with pixel shaders - good luck coding a sha256 implementation in ps3.0 :( The CPU packs quite some horsepower for its age but I would expect it to perform below the PS3's Cell - probably around 10 to 15 mhash/s at best. I don't know how much overhead the xna .net wrapper introduces compared to native PowerPC code. The xbox power consumption is quite big (200w for the xenons !), older models would probably overheat /rrod if left on mining for days. Networking is also very restricted under XNA but debug builds allow for unencrypted communications on the LAN - so as long as you are running a proxy on a computer (or mining solo) you should be fine.

the xbox would get far less and will cost more in electricity then it gains Title: Re: BitCoin Mining on Xbox 360 Post by: kreeften on February 05, 2014, 05:52:57 PM http://retrominer.com/
Title: Re: BitCoin Mining on Xbox 360 Post by: nasamanBoy on February 06, 2014, 03:44:44 PM So how do I actually start mining in a pool? Is there a list of pools somewhere, hopefully with ranking by payout share, etc? I have the default program installed and updated: Bitcoin version v0.8.1-beta, and there's nothing about mining solo OR in a pool, and didn't even have an option to create a new Wallet, which some other vague instructional inclined......
