Omg headphone miner looks like a revolution.
So wait, then maybe if i have a 7.1 audio system...

promising results so far!
Wow, I only got ~810 Mhash/s on my floppy miner (don't know how to overclock it), but then I tried this: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F1ValF.png&t=665&c=uy1tX8Bk8xJ7ZQ) Overclocking the readspeed of the miner increased hashspeed significantly. Audiominer seems very good, never thought about that! I have a few speakers i can mine with here, i'll try and make a miner later

This sounds like a thread I saw before that talked about mining on a sound card.It's possible but you needed: a.Special driver b.A H/W based Sound card (most sound cards these days are S/W based as in they have no Audio processing hardware of their own like some creative sound cards did several years ago-before they were phased out.You won't get more than a few MHash/s out of them but it seemed fun to try for those with the right sound cards)
I think I'll stick to my GPUs for now as (CPUs are rubbish and FPGAs too pricy for the performance you'd get.Only positive was the massive drop in energy use from FPGA) FPGAs have come a long way so am considering them when they get much cheaper.

You still have the link? Its an interesting (if pointless) idea, but AFAIK, soundcards will have basically have a programmable DSP onboard. DSP is mainly about floating point. I doubt it could be used for mining and you might have more luck using a HDD controller or one of those highend network cards. Of course, even if any of these could be used for mining, performance will completely pale in comparison to something really, really fast, like, .. our cell phones ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

Is funny to see how sometimes Bitcoin forum community is suffering from ignorance. -snip-
The DIMMs are not used to calculate anything. Yes there are systems that have some sort CPU (does the calculation) and a lot of DIMMs (they hold the results) to brute force. But that does not mean the DIMMs are doing any sort of calculation. Thats like saying your paper does the calculation when you just write it there while you do the calculation. ...DIMMs began to replace SIMMs (single in-line memory modules) as the predominant type of memory module as ...

DIMM is only the physical interface there, it's like saying you can mine on USB cables.

No no no no no!!! RAM can never do a calculation. It is a memory unit not a logic or arithmetic unit. Paper can not do the calculation it can only safe it. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fe%2Fe5%2FVon_Neumann_Architecture.svg&t=665&c=FPyEt4EMNRD77g)

As everybody told you, is not possible use RAM for mining there is at the moment I know that is possible the mining from GPU, AISC, Scrypt, USB and graphic card.

GPU = Graphic card, has logic/arithmetic unit - can mine/calculate stuff AISC = ASIC = "Applicationspecific integrated circuit" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application-specific_integrated_circuit - has loic/arithmetic unit - can usually only do 1 specific task but is very good at it Scrypt = a function, this will not do any caluclations for you. This is something that you need a logic/arithmetic unit for. USB = an interface, no calculation here, just some sort of plug

Never heard that. If someone set up it , what will happen ? It must be amazing at least.
