What really pisses me off about this is I can't provide proof anymore that I made use of OtherOS. The later updates removed that functionality.
I remember at that time I was so excited thinking I'd get to use my PS3 as my main machine, my game console, and for bitcoin mining -- and a bluray player. I desperately wanted it to be my entertainment center for all purposes.
Sony didn't want me to be a happy customer.
- asymmetric 10y agoYou were planning on mining bitcoins in 2010 already? That's pretty early, hats off to you!
- coroutines 10y agoI had a few friends making money on it - I was a dreamer for sure... At the time I remember there was a team working on hashing functions in hand-tuned assembly for the PS3's Cell processor that would take advantage of it's vector capabilities. I wanted to take their implementations and learn assembly well enough to write my own bitcoin miner. This was long before ASICs became a thing so the PS3 looked like a big money-making opportunity. :-)
- ars 10y agoYou don't need proof as in mathematical proof. You need proof as in legal proof, i.e. a paper saying "I used it".
- codys 10y agoAttestation ("I used it") and "proof" are used separately in the quote from the article, implying that the proof must be more that just attestation.
