Topic: PPCoin: Another Use for the Avalon SHA256 Chips? (Read 1530 times)
Are there Avalon owners already doing this? So it can be done even without modifying the Control Unit?
You can already mine any of the sha256 cryptocoins just by pointing your Avalon to the correct daemon/pool.
At some point, when the difficulty rises to a level that even the Avalon chips will have a hard time earning for the Avalon miners, of what use is your expensive Avalon mining equipment?
I am looking into the possibility of using the chips to mine for PPCoins. This crypto-currency uses the same hashing algorithm as Bitcoin. In fact, it is derived from Bitcoin source code.
For those who bought Avalon systems, I believe this repurposing would require reprogramming the Spartan-6 Control Unit. Other than this, I don't see any other changes that would be required.
What do you think?
