Title: Is bitcoin mining best way to sell processing power? Post by: createfile on May 25, 2011, 09:25:18 AM I have a lot of idle processing power, some of them even with free electric supply, but they all have poor network access (may of them even have no network access) so I cant rent them out as a VPS or something like webserver ……
I found bitcoin mining maybe a good way to make use of them, but I am not sure whether it's the best way. Is there anyother way I can sell/rent the processing power? BTW: Most of them are server boxes, they have powerful CPU and pool GPU (I am not sure it could call GPU or not just a onboard video chip) They are good at float computing not SHA-256...... Thanks, CreateFile Title: Re: Is bitcoin mining best way to sell processing power?

Yes, It's the problem, CPUs are good at float computing, not doing SHA-256……Is there any way to sell cpu float processing power? Title: Re: Is bitcoin mining best way to sell processing power?

You could set up a seperate server that specifies problem format and accepts Bitcoins and the problem. Sneakernet it over to your CPU. Bit of a hassle, though. |
