1) Just drop the whole thing in an acid bath
2) Precipitate out the gold content
3) Sell the gold for BTC.

Maximum profit.



Genius.

I was told the way it affixed integers made it a superior bitcoining rig for fractions of the cost.

AS/400 hardware mostly uses the power architecture[1].  While superior to x86 for some operations, they still can't compete with ASICs.

I was told you can use an AS400 to mine bitcoins? true? or fake.
Yes, but the hash rates are abysmal.

I'm not sure that architecture is supported, but let's assume you *could* - what would you plan on doing, CPU mining?   Roll Eyes
