Jenkins (and It's predecessor Hudson) are useful projects for automating common development tasks (e.g. There are other coins where you CAN make a profit but these use CPUs or GPUs.Jenkins is the market leading continuous integration system, originally created by Kohsuke Kawaguchi. Unless you have free electricity and already have the miners, these days mining Bitcoins is a sure way of losing money. David Anderson himself stated that the credits granted were an accurate representation of the work done. Tasks were benchmarked on standard CPUs and then the credit scaled according to how much faster the ASICs could complete the same work, the same idea as GPUs getting ten times the credit of CPUs for doing the work ten times faster. Bitcoin ASICs resulted in BU awarding extremely high Boinc credits but they were proportionate to the work done. As mining Bitcoins directly generated money, there was an incentive for third parties to create the ASICs, there is little incentive for third party companies to spend money on generating SETI ASICs that only produce worthless Boinc Credits.Ī bit of history. The Bitcoin ASICS WON'T run the SETI code, you'd need a brand new set of ASICs designing, producing and selling. The Bitcoin ones run the Bitcoin hashing algorithm in hardware at a much, much higher rate than could be done in software but that's all they can do. The relevant point is the second letter of the name:ĪSICs are created to do one task and do it well. Which makes using a Bitcoin miner even less rewarding:Īnd yes, they are very good (and expensive) heaters to run in the winter months - also pretty noisy too. There's a new article that has just come out (Jan 2020) that says that the Bitcoin "halving" process will take place in May 2020 - so each miner will earn half the amount of Bitcoins (per period) that it would earn in the months beforehand. So, you earned BOINC credits and BU gave the dollar value of the BTC to one of the worthy causes.Īs such, up until now, no-one has coded a specific application that could be run on a ASIC miner to crunch "real" project data, in the same way that a CPU or a GPU can do. : It looks like someone (on a different website) has got the wrong end of the stick somewhere - originally the SETI and Einstein projects would be given "real money" by the Bitcoin Utopia project, once BOINC members joined Bitcoin Utopia, crunched some Bitcoins and then Bitcoin Utopia would distribute those funds to specific projects.and as I recall one could select on the BU project website which of the "worthy causes" your BTC would be donated to. ![]() I have seen the articles that SETI and Einstein might allow ASICs to crunch for them but I've not looked into it (though these articles are a few years old, in some cases). ![]() The main reason was to earn BOINC credits as the Bitcoin Utopia "BOINC project" gave huge credits for hardly any real work.hence why Mark and I have earned "billions" of BOINC credits and besides which another UK team also started earning BOINC credits and we were in danger of losing our hard-worked for UK #1 position - but we saw them off in the end A number of us bought up a few ASICs of many varieties.I have some Butterfly Labs 60 GH/s and RockMiners (both 35 GH/s and some 450GH/s models) in a box somewhere, which I'll get around to selling off at some point - though I started off with Bitmain miner USB sticks - starting with the 333 MH/s version and then getting the 1.6 GH/s version (though I've actually sold off all of these a while back). ![]()
