Out of pure curiosity, has anyone tried some old sun sparc procs and mining ? Even though Sun is dead (god rest her soul, don't bother to try to tel me otherwise Wink I know there's lots of boxes still hiding in datacenters and basements.. so has anyone thrown a miner on one just to see the mash rate? The whole sparc arch is a risc processor, so it does work differently than x86 chips.. just wonder how they stacked up to today's intel procs.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

About 40Kh per virtual core on Niagara. I think non CoolThreads CPU working faster.

40 kh? per core? ouch intel atom will outrun that i get ~2mh total on an old atom 330(the system is on 24/7 anyway i figured it was better than not getting the extra 2mh)

I think is problem of T1 design, it's only have one FPU for all cores. I think regular UltraSPARC is faster then your x86 CPU on equal MHz.
