Is that the farm In northern china with the cheap electricity that I saw the ad for? :p

So I could try this and actually solve a 25btc block? Wow.
Interesting

congrats you just solved a 25 btc block.  at a rate of 10000000000000000:0

Massive waste of time, ink and paper.

Not worth it unless you can somehow improve to several Terahashes per second.

Not gonna happen.

Even if you found a block, it would likely take more then 10 minutes to copy the found block onto a computer that can broadcast the block to the network so the block would end up either being orphaned or being invalid depending on when someone would consider it to be "found" (when it was actually solved verses when it was broadcast).

Wow that is interesting to understand the calculation process

0.67hash a day is not too effective

[ticoti]

this is just curious,but obviously useless

[Bitcoin Magazine]

obviously he has enough to buy a mansion.  just move on

[okae]

shhh be ready for the next step about chinese farm

[cryptworld]

haha really curious maybe a math prodigy can get something quickly

[Lethn]

..... This guy has way too much time on his hands.

inb4 government's starting banning bitcoin hardware, then start banning paper and pencils.

C'mon, you know China or some communist government will do this in the future

Scott Flansburg mining Bitcoin with pencil and paper, could probably be as effective as a GPU would be in mining Bitcoin.

I'm serious, he can solve equations faster than someone could with a calculator.
