Hey, just wondering if anyone has done any work on mining via a PowerPC that I could expand upon.  I have a small plan that will allow mining via a very simple device, but my scrypt-ing skills are below par.   Tongue
I suppose I could take a swing at it, but I'm far less familiar with scrypt than I am with SHA-256.  Are there any papers on it that I might be able to work from?  Thanks!

Hey, just wondering if anyone has done any work on mining via a PowerPC that I could expand upon.
ssvb's fork of cpuminer comes to mind. It includes an Altivec implementation of scrypt, and although it was designed for the Playstation 3 there were people who used it on their Macs with (relatively) very good results. I was going to merge it into my own fork, but then I decided to focus on ARM instead. I might still give it a go if I find the time.

I have a small plan that will allow mining via a very simple device, but my scrypt-ing skills are below par.   Tongue
Now I'm curious... What kind of device?
