Re: Win/win? for who?
Im not sure, but bitcoin mining stuff is ASIC based and is geared for the SHA-256 based bitcoin hashes.
The lowest power stuff is in the measure of 10s of gigahashes per second. An ANTMINER S2 can do 1000 gigahashes per second.
There is mining kit out therebthat can do over 3TH/s.
Not sure if you can rejig a BTC miner for the purposes of bruteforcing garden variety hashes...it'd be interesting to know if its possible though.
