Ok guys,
Question with bitcoins as reward for good info.
I have a Sun Fire V880 with 8 UltraSPARC III Cpus @ 1200mhz at my disposal. This thing is a beast. Surely there is a way for me to get some decent hashing going on with it?
I've noticed there's not really much of a port, or anything that's been moved over doesn't get decent speeds.
Can someone give me the hot tip on how I can start really utilising this machine?
It would be a large problem to port to this machine due to it being big endian. afaik bitocin has never been ported to big endian and I think Satoshi said some time ago that the bitcoin client was highly dependent on little endian architecture and unlikely to ever work on big endian.
Prehaps the java bitcoinj is better base to start with, not sure.
Not trying to start another flame war about what is better, just another design decision from early days of bitcoin that is a problem for you now.
