The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

HOLY SHIT!!!!
Where's my Bitcoin cartridge??!!! Do I have to blow on it/the unit to make it go faster?

I've got a few ideas about how to pack it all into a cartridge, but that will involve more development.
I had a crazy idea to make a kickstarter out of this, but I think there's probably not enough interest to make it worthwhile.
I'm glad you like it!

Hmmm I wounder what the hash rate is from that lol..... As theirs no indication or info of person saying how much speed i would guess not that much lol but good effort to turn a nes into a miner lol.
WHAT NEXT SAGA :p

It said one static nonce per iteration and included a hexadecimal number is shown. It's obvious the guy has some different interpretation of Bitcoin, not saying a bad one. |

That's awesome - nice way to make a forum entrance! Do you think one of the newer game consoles like an XBox would be a worthwhile hack?

what do you think how many hashes / second a z80 would get?

Considering a Z80 can't draw a parabola on a low-resolution TI-84 display in a reasonable amount of time, I think you're looking at seconds/hash, instead. That said, I'm somewhat curious as to what an ODroid could do... Mine just kind of chills out as my most expensive alarm clock ever. |

I think the Pi used in this would be multiples faster But that's not the point is it |

/shameless necro Has anyone ever tried mining on a Sinclair ZX 81 or ZX Spectrum? As these actually have an ASIC-chip onboard. The initial ASICs used gate array technology. Ferranti produced perhaps the first gate-array, the ULA (Uncommitted Logic Array), around 1980. An early successful commercial application was the ULA circuitry found in the 8-bit ZX81 and ZX Spectrum low-end personal computers, introduced in 1981 and 1982. These were used by Sinclair Research (UK) essentially as a low-cost I/O solution aimed at handling the computer's graphics. Some versions of ZX81/Timex Sinclair 1000 used just four chips (ULA, 2Kx8 RAM, 8Kx8 ROM, Z80A CPU) to implement an entire mass-market personal computer with built-in BASIC interpreter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific_integrated_circuit |

Good work. Then We may be able to use some damn stuff like PS2 to do something good. The Nes is just the beginning...

An old Z80, Motorola 68000 series, an Intel 8088, etc. You just have to find a way to communicate back and forth from the network and ofcourse you will need some way of compiling the miner code into a binary that will run on the target machine. small edit: Oh and in the case of gaming consoles, you would usually need to find a way to make it run code that didn't come from an official licensed disc or cartridge. In many cases, the usual methods of making a console run a copied disc should suffice for this. However, your comment about ASIC doesn't really make sense. The title of the page you quote specifies exactly what an ASIC is. It's an application specific chip. It's internally hard wired to do something the creator needs it to do. In the case of a ZX Spectrum, it's function is to providing I/O and graphics. An ASIC for mining would need to be designed for hashing SHA256. It's pretty much like a spoon and a knife. Both are utensils, but they are not exchangeable for eachothers tasks. |
