I know that these consoles have some pretty decent gfx hardware. Has anyone ever tried to reuse some of their parts for mining purposes?
Just curious

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

It's a waste of time really, a ps3 will get you around 10MH/s.
I'm not sure about the next gen consoles, maybe someone more clued up can chime in but I can't imagine those being worth the time either.

I can understand the low hashrate would be horrible for BTC, but what about the altcoins?
Heck it beats using a 180.0k hash rate for mining.

This is the bitcoin section, I do not care for altcoins. If you have questions regarding altcoins please direct them towards the correct forums here
