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:

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

If you want to walk on water, get out of the boat

Omg headphone miner looks like a revolution.

So wait, then maybe if i have a 7.1 audio system...

I'm currently looking at the possibilities for floppy mining, promising results so far!

I'm working on a miner that you put on the blu ray disk and on a customized firmware. You put the firmware in the device, you insert the blu ray disk with the miner and it mine. It should be ready in 4-6 weeks

How would BuRay mining work? Are the drives programmable enough to do that?

I dunno about RAM mining but some guys tried sound card mining.

I'm still working on BluRay mining btw

What about HD DVD mining?

I'll make a mining software for my Noctua fans

I also try to develope miner specified for Scythe's Gentle Typhoon's LMAO

I have a really good mouse too, i'll make a miner for it

Next up, mining with case fans.

Thats old news

Wow.

If anything AMD selling a card with LESS RAM would be better.

Not sure where you get the idea that RAM does anything except raise wattage and the cost of a card.

Posting in an epic thread.

Suddenly GPU with a lot of RAM are epic useful.

And you still haven't see my USB key mining...

There are prototype boards that have mini APUs (application processor units) directly connected to RAM. As such you can load the RAM with and have the APU process the contents and read it back out without using the CPU. I think it was on engadget sometime in the last four weeks or so. I can't remember the manufacturer/dev though, or I would directly link it.

Right, but what would the RAM do? It seems like the RAM serves no purpose. The APUs would be mining in that case, and there'd be some RAM there that you would be paying for but not be using.

I understand how mining works, and understand what RAM is.

Are you sure? You could only ask the question you did if your understanding of one of them is slightly askew.

It's also possible I (and others) misunderstand what you think there is up for discussion about it...so what do you mean can RAM be used to mine?

that doesn't even make any sense. Mining requires calculation processing power which RAM has none.

Now this starts to make sense. However why don't just get the APU's minus the ram? Should be lower cost,at least.Seems like one of those FPGA's now Tongue

I doubt its possible, but worth a good discussion.

Would or is it possible to mine with RAM?
I understand how mining works, and understand what RAM is.

I'm just saying, I could go buy a shit load of ram and off-load it onto a dedi or two cheaper than these damn GFX cards. xD

You can't calculate with RAM. Why not use a harddrive then?
