Bitcoin Mining

You are the reason AMD is dying, faggot.

the reason AMD is dying is because they've been releasing subpar cards for the past 5 years :^)

no and no.

you will need to build a $10,000 rig if you want to actually be able to crack password hashes in any reasonable amount of time.

Let me know in 300 years when you manage to crack the first one.

Are you talking about a custom asic miner like the one pictured, or is it just a general-purpose computer? Assuming the former, no, unless you have a file hashed with sha-256

>>55871650
Bitcoin miners do an SHA256(SHA256(x)) while for aircrack you need an sha256(x)

But is bitcoin even a thing anymore i think is the real question???????????????????

>>55872367
so youre telling me there isnt any hope?

>>55871650
>yfw the only people who made any money from Bitcoin were Bitcoin miner vendors

tfw no tripcode cracking asic

> Tfw I fixed a computer today with ransomware that encrypted every file on the computer
> The ransom was for 300 bitcoins

Bitcoins should be illegal

An FPGA is enough.

>>55872227
AMD is not dying, why would you think that? They are doing fine like they always have.

>>55872396
No, the best option to crack and stuff is an FPGA or a good GPU because they are more scalable

>>55872382
It is on wall street which means it isn't.

>>55872331
It's 2016, you can crack passwords with much less

>>55871650
2010 called. It wants his money back.

>>55872520
tfw no open-source tripcode cracking fpga architecture

>>55872532
any you would recommend?

>>55872557
no, its 2016, you you still need power.

something along the lines of a 4 way titan x build can crack 10 character ntlm passwords in minutes. that is the kind of powerhouse you need if you want an actual cracking rig.

amd isnt even the defacto standard in these builds anymore either

Was stealing electricity at work with 6 antminers but these days yield is just too low and Ive shut that operation down.

>>55872580
It's a good excuse to learn VHDL

>>55872581
I don't know much about fpga but I would use nvidia titans

>>55872610
that does sound interesting, but it would be cool if there was an open-source project to reference, since I wouldn't even know where to begin
