[23:59:31] <exec> 08└─It seems like just another case of the rich becoming richer, unless it's profitable for average Joe Shit the Ragman to rent a time slot or subset of cluster components. Then there is the potential for security breaches if the cluster is networked to the rest of the world. I know people who bought in...

[23:59:33] <exec> 08└─Dude, a $200 Nvidia graphics card has more computing power than your SGI/MIPS/Irix cluster from 1997.

[23:59:35] <exec> 08└─On the positive side, while they were trying to mine the bitcoin, they weren't doing any nuclear weapons research, and connecting to the Internet they probably let us get a look at their technology for a change. And the Chinese. A great bunch of lads.

[23:59:37] <exec> 08└─Yeah, but what about a cluster from 2005? But you're right, it is pretty hilarious how underpowered those old machines are by today's standards. By the way, I loved the hardware simplicity of the tower models like Octanes and O2s but fucking hated the Indys. Disassembling Indys was a huge unnecessar...

[23:59:41] <exec> 08└─Actually it raises a broader question - how many people or organizations have used supercomputer/cluster time for the specific and legitimate purpose of mining cryptocurrency?
