Topic: SGMiner on XBOX One - page 4. (Read 2651 times)
I swear I read something about someone looking for PS4 Pro with firmware less than 4.05 because you can run homebrew or something?
I have a way of getting xbox one x for cheap, legally. I just do what I know best; buy and pawn games (specific superbargains) at gamestop. Sometimes I get more then four times my investment.. I could actually have use for this (and so could you if you carefully buy and pawn the correct games).
XBOX ONE X is Polaris-based (a bit faster than RX 580).
The thing is, it only runs signed binaries and there's no UWP app on the Microsoft store for CryptoNight mining... it's a shame, since it's a very efficient & quiet machine. 175 watts max with vapor chamber cooling.
I don't even know if there are any hacking/homebrew attempts... 4+ years have passed and PS4/Xbone are still not hacked.

XBox 1 CPU is basically a varient AMD A10 - heavier on the GPU side, lighter on the CPU cores.
The issue is getting OS support on it - I THINK there's a LINUX version for that machine, if it's a 64-bit version it SHOULD work but you'll have to compile specifically for it from source code and might have "fun" getting required libraries installed.
PS4 is essentially the SAME story.
The only significant difference between the two is that one of them uses GDDR5 for ram, the other uses GDDR3.

The PS3 used to be able to be used for Folding@home applications. In theory the same could be done using any mining program. I believe support for it was discontinued though for unknown reasons. I'm pretty sure support was blocked on Sony's end.
The thread should be SGMiner on PS4 though. The XBOX One is powered by a potato by comparison
Both consoles are powered by AMD GPU's but PS4 GPU is 50% faster. Even more interesting would be mining using the PS4.5 and XBOX Scorpio, the former of which is using a GPU similar to the RX 470/480.

Anyone with more info on viability of mining on next gen consoles?

Yeah, it could have been a good idea to run a miner on an Xbox, if you could have any other OS installed in there.
My first reaction is this would be a troll thread, but being real consoles do have very similar parts. I remember when the PS3 was new people were talking about hacking it into a computer because of the CPU it has, although severe lack of RAM in that console generation.
I am curious about this also
Ok... So I just got a XBOX One 
My question is... how do I get SGMiner (esp the lbry kernel version) onto the XBOX
The XBOX's GPU is PERFECT for mining lbry credits! BUT I'll need the appropriate software first... Help me BitcoinTalk! you're my only hope
