Hi Bitcoiners, I know that SHA256 hashing is different from RSA cracking, but still the question bothers me. Would a device like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TWINKLE be somehow suitable for mining?

This device speeds up the performance of testing individual integers for primality. It wouldn't help mining.

My question was more like: Could the tube-LED-photosemiconductor trick also work on SHA256?

No.

SHA has no known cycles.  And if any are ever found, they won't survive the double hash.

I routinely ignore posters with paid advertising in their sigs.  You should too.
