RED ROCKET-X Mining Bitcoin?

[Brian Anderson]

Just a general question..
Has anyone tried using the RED ROCKET-X to mine Bitcoin?
If so at what capacity or Th/s did it run at?

 

[Aaron Nanto]

Since the RED ROCKET-X is specific to working with R3D files, I find it highly unlikely it can be used for Bitcoin - besides, unless you plan on investing $10,000+ in some high end ASIC hardware (or ASIC cloud machines) it's not worth your time or power to mine Bitcoins now.....

Call these guys... maybe they could make it crunch Bitcoins for you...

You'd probably spend more in custom development to make it do so than you could profit, but hey!

Even if you could get the Rocket-X to do BitCoin hashing, doubtful, but even if you could it's not going to be that great. Rocket-X is powerful for what it does in the size of a single PCIe card. It's not cheap. For the same price as Rocket X I can assemble a quad-GPU PC that would undboubtedly run circles around it for BitCoin purposes. And yeah, a non issue since I think the Rocket-X is mostly built on dedicated ASIC hardware, so we're not dealing with a programmable GPU that can be extended to something like BitCoin mining. Rocket-X doesn't seem to be extendible to handle all of the R3D processing functions now available in RedCine-X or the SDK. ADD, DEB to name a couple.
