CPU based mining is incredibly inefficient. The most advanced ASIC miners (Antminer9, $2500) are 100,000 times faster than a CPU for bitcoin mining. Maybe if it was a KNL many-core you could get one more zero of that. So, somehow they've got to hijack 10,000-100,000 computers through RDP just to match what they could put on a desk? Ok, hijacking the machines is a way to get free energy, but wouldn't it be easier to hide a dedicated miner in a dorm or an obscure campus closet?
Speaking of dumb criminals, what kind of moron goes after Ariane Grande fans? This forces the social conservatives in the west to get behind a dazzling young feminist and engages all these young fans at an early age to realize that the impact ideology, religion, and politics can have on their lives. ISIS is a little short on critical thinking skills, it seems! Marcus -----Original Message----- From: Friam [mailto:friam-boun...@redfish.com] On Behalf Of glen ?
