My robotics team has a few of these which we use as microcontrollers for our robots. They have a Spartan-6 LX45 FPGA inside of them, so I was wondering if it would be possible to set them up to mine bitcoins while we aren't using them.
The key came with my graphics card, but I don't need it. Price: 2.2BTC Once we reach a deal, I will PM you with the payment address, and email you the key.
EDIT: Will also trade for Steam Games. Tell me what you have.
I would like to start small so I can show my parents that this is profitable, and am thinking of purchasing a used Radeon 5770 and putting it in the gaming machine that I already have. (It has a GTX 460 which I have heard is useless for mining). The 5770 would be mining 24/7 and I would still game on the nvidia GPU (is it possible to have both cards and drivers in a system like that?) Will this be worth it?
Also, I have seen Mhash/s and Ghash/s numbers being thrown around on here, how would I go about converting those numbers into bitcoins/day or something?
