I thought Bitcoin can't effectively be mined on CPUs anymore, only some AltCoins that are too difficult to compute with ASICs

- Wowfunhappy 7y agoWell, yes, but "effective" is context-dependent. If you have a million computers mining for you, and you're not paying their electricity, it doesn't really matter how individually efficient they are.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoI'm not talking about a miner. I'm talking about a wallet or some utility module. You'd wait until you have a big installed base then change your module to silently steal coinbase credentials. Wait a few weeks until you have enough of them and then own all the accounts at once. Something like that. The Bitcoin aspect of the module is just to target effectively.
