I don't think it's in scope for the BOINC core client to have explicit code detecting eg. BitForce hardware, which is an ASIC only useful for BitCoin mining and nothing else. It *may* be appropriate to support certain FPGA boards, for which there happens to be bitcoin-mining software but can also be used for other purposes. -- Nicolás _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
