How to ruin a Commodore 64.
It should say CBM, it's either a typo or a simple mistake."The Commodore 64 was released by IBM"
Are you sure about that?
Except that the "C" is nowhere near the "I" on a keyboard. Any keyboard, anywhere in the world. It wasn't a simple misspelling. It was an error in fact checking, something easy to avoid in reference to Commodore.It should say CBM, it's either a typo or a simple mistake.

Are you worried about Commodore64 going out of stock or something?Kill it with fire.
Uh... from your article's opening.Commodore never had a dedicated "business machine" division. Commodore was just Commodore.
Commodore International - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
along with its subsidiary Commodore Business Machines
I like modding old hardware to do useless things. I wrote a NES game and burned it to cart that according to my brother "was the dumbest game in history."It’s an enthusiast hobby project, so how is it pathetic?

The time to mine Bitcoin was a long time ago, even Etherium is probably past the point where it's feasible to mine a lot without enormous resources.It's a proof of concept creation only.
I'd like to see what other devices can be modified to mine, as mentioned, an I.O.T. fridge should be possible to mod, as should any "smart" TV and any device with a CPU.

I know, it was sort of a rhetorical silly question.iirc Commodore went bankrupt in the mid 90s shortly after Jack Tramiel left. He was the only one in senior management that had a clue about computers.
Amazingly you can still buy a C64 that works for a few hundred dollars considering we are talking about a computer that is almost 40 years old.
Pretty much this. The cryptobubble will likely pop once yields dry-up and become cost prohibitive.The time to mine Bitcoin was a long time ago, even Etherium is probably past the point where it's feasible to mine a lot without enormous resources.

Certainly, if the bubble bursts before mining dries up, then sure, mining will become less attractive. But chances are mining will become too expensive long before the speculation ends, because that can continue as long as there are enough fools willing to drive up the price even further.Pretty much this. The cryptobubble will likely pop once yields dry-up and be cost prohibitive.

I would like this game. I don't have an NES (yet), but I do have an original NES controller that I use with my PC with a USB adapter. Works great.I like modding old hardware to do useless things. I wrote a NES game and burned it to cart that according to my brother "was the dumbest game in history."
He didn't know it was entirely designed from the getgo to annoy him. He hadn't even been born when the NES launched, but I had plans the moment he came into this world, see?
The game was a maze that if you touched the walls, screamed at you in an annoying synth tone and attempted to give you an eplieptic seizure with fun flashes (no he's not eplileptic, that wouldn't be funny). Fun. The character was a potato like being that was not at all modeled after my brother.
And it still hasn't been corrected...The Commodore 64 was released by IBM in 1982? Seriously?
The C64 was made by Commodore Business Machines, not by IBM which had no ownership of CBM or of the C64.

Unfortunately I am not sure I have it anymore in file or even physical form. Got out of that modding scene years ago.I would like this game. I don't have an NES (yet), but I do have an original NES controller that I use with my PC with a USB adapter. Works great.
It's been done. Mining on arm cpus is akin to cpu mining: not very (if at all) usable.Oh yes, let's give people bad ideas...

Bitcoin doesn't that's how. No one mines bitcoin this way anymore though, and you'd literally never make a penny in your lifetime doing this.Now, I'm no expert on mining, but one thing I know, is that it needs a lot of GPU memory, even by modern standards, so how the hell did they get it to work on a 64K RAM computer with a primitive memory mapped video processor?!! It can't even be called a GPU really. That's amazing right there, let alone the rest. What a technical feat. Respect.

Yeah, I know it's actually completely useless, but I thought bitcoin needed lots of graphics memory to even compute. Looks like I'm mistaken.Bitcoin doesn't that's how. No one mines bitcoin this way anymore though, and you'd literally never make a penny in your lifetime doing this.

You are thinking of ethereum. Bitcoin is all compute no memory (it's just an sha256 hash).Yeah, I know it's actually completely useless, but I thought bitcoin needed lots of graphics memory to even compute. Looks like I'm mistaken.

Yes, and they've been made. Bitcoin and Litecoin, the first two cryptocoins, are exclusively mined by asics.The odd thing is, GPUs are actually fairly inefficient at cryptomining. A custom ASIC would mine SOOO much better. People are just fricken lazy...
Ah but it would different enough that it would not be a GPU, nor would it be as complex and yet still do more work than a proper GPU.This means to design an ASIC for them you'd basically end up with a... gpu like device. It's benefits would be limited and the costs exclude anyone from even attempting it.
