Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> I have really enjoyed reading about the z13 and some of the new nifties. And, of course, eventually IBM will give out some harder performance number. But I'll bet there is one geek question which will not be answered. How fast could a fully enabled machine mint bitcoins or other cryptocurrency? How much power would such a machine use while doing so? "Inquiring minds want to know!" -- While a transcendent vocabulary is laudable, one must be eternally careful so that the calculated objective of communication does not become ensconced in obscurity. In other words, eschew obfuscation. 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
