Hey Guys, My name is Alex and the other day I got bored and decided to start creating a Bitcoin miner for the PSP! For those of you who don't know what a PSP is look here-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Portable_hardwareSo atm it can connect to a pool, get work, hash the work, submit the work and repeat all the steps over again (It has some issues with submitting the correct work, see video) Here is a little video of it working-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VOJLgWY7NoI'm looking for others to start to help me with this project. So if anyone is interested, let me know by posting below and I'll put up a git repo for us all to use. I would like to also work on coding the sha256 hash to use the onboard ME(Media Engine) and VFPU. So if anyone has skills in asm coding with a mips chip, let me know. Happy Coding! Alex |

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Wow. I wish I kept my PSP. What speeds do you get on such a tiny and slow CPU?
Edit: Nevermind. Found it. X3 Still cool.

ATM 35K, but hopefully with the use of the ME(Media Engine, aka a nother 32bit cpu on the PSP) and the VFPU I could push ~100K |

Now why the fuck would you do something like that?  This has got to be one of the most pointless and amazing things i've seen all week. Kudos. |

Would work if you were the first miner on any new currency though. I wish I could code stuff like that |

Awesome project, even if it's not especially useful. Nice one! If you can charge the battery for free (at work, school...) you can take it home and hash for pure profit |

So if I spend 10 or 10000 it's the same price at the end of the month. If I have 3 PSP stopped without doing nothing mith as well put them working! |

I hard bricked my PSP trying to get custom firmware so I dont care about it anymore, but the concept is worthwhile. |

Anyway it was just a joke. |

Hi
Do you think LTC mining on the PSP is worth it? How high can it get?
