- davedx 13y agoIf it's a specialised rig then it'll only be good for MD5 I think. Most sensible websites don't use MD5 anymore.
- gizzlon 13y agoMost sensible websites don't use MD5 anymore What makes you say that? Do you mean new sites or all site? Got anything to back it up? I would guess most sites in existence use MD5, SHA1 or similar with 1 round, because it was (is?) very popular.
- smartwater 13y agoBitcoin rigs are only good for certain mathematical functions. They are not general computing devices.
- maxerickson 13y agoThe work function in bitcoin is based on SHA-256. But vinhboy is almost certainly talking about some computers with some GPUs in them.
