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?
