Not without asking nicely

I'm asking if other systems be changed to fit with the way bitcoin ASICs process things?  
Do they have SoC?

Can SHA256 be used for anything else?  Or can anything else use SHA256?

Squeept.  Sorry for snappin at ya. just looking for ideas, info, etc.

Your mum was application specific too, and I was still able to get her to do other things.

Ya unhelpful knob

What about converting a processing problem into something that the mining ASICs could solve?

Pictures please?

Also, are they metal?

Or metal looking plastic like for prop use in Lord of the Rings?

The thing I really want to know, is it at all possible to use any of the soon to be released ASIC devices for other another heavy processing tasks?

Is it feasible?

Is it theoretically possible?

Could they be converted/Hacked?

I know the consensus right now in NO, but there has got to be something!  

I'm just thinking ahead.

Thoughts?

(Also, pic relevant)

It would knock out everyone GPU mining except for people who don't pay for electricity (colledge students, people who live with their parents, and people who leave em plugged in at work)

This would probably knock out 95% of GPU miners that mine >2GHs.

Anybody paying less than $0.10 per KW/h would either still be making decent coin or just breaking even.

I can't wait for my BFL SC to turn up.  

All this crap will end and I'll BE ULTRA FUCKING RICH.

Optimism and positive thinking has done me WAY more good (and earned me WAY more $$) than all the bullshit I keep reading.

I'm an optimistic prick, and nothing ever gonna change it



Also, I'm not getting paid for my signature

NEVAR!

also, DGM FTW!

only choose PPS if you absolutely have to have BTC coming in every few hours.  Otherwise DGM pays you your proportion of what was earned when a block is solved

Fees are a matter of preference...

If you join a no fee server, and don't get much help, it might be good to join a fee server. You can get helpful benefits.

also likewise, if you're on a fee server, and got getting any benefit out of it, then got to a no fee server, where even if you get ignored it'll cost ya nothin!

Most pools do keep transaction fees, and I read somewhere that they usually take 1BTC for every block solved (which gets 50BTC for the pool)

I'm quite happy with EclipseMC.  No fee.  I can buy credits to get a sms if something goes wrong (.1 bitcoin for 100 sms, BARGAIN!)

I donate 1% of my profits, and will do more once I've paid off my mining equipment.  We get looked after pretty good there.

Hang on...

Did we just get trollied?

Fuck you.

Seriously, fuck you in your face.  People like you make me sick. You remind me of the guy trying to sell blue green algae to stimulate stem cell production to cure diseases.

"I've been mining for 12 months, and I've had black spots appear in the last 12 months.  Therefore, BTC GAVE ME CANCER!"

Sorry for the aggression, but seriously.  Flimflammers like you piss me off. Whether you're doing it on purpose to make money, or because of your lack of education and ignorance.

You should introduce yourself to Brian Dunning at http://www.skeptoid.com  And teach yourself some critical thinking skills.

I've had my bitcoins for months...

THAT MEANS I'M RICH!!!

we REALLY need to be able to buy and sell bitcoin with one button.  none of this anal raping we gotta go through.  I'm in australia, and we don't have too many options.  CryptoXchange charges $20 to cash out!  what a rip

Guaranteed worse? 

AWESOME WHERE CAN I BUYZ ONE?

noice!

Wasn't DirkaDirkaStan was it?

Jesse Ventura, is that you?
