I don't understand why this even needed to be tested. Of course the mining algorithm would work on an old computer, it's not all that complex as far as computing functions go. Basically asking "can old computers do math". The answer will always be " yes, but much more slowly than new ones ".

translating the algorithm for the weird computer that doesn't do binary is the interesting part probablty

True I guess but I'd have hated it less if he just tried to do an sha-256 hash.

From the end of last year but I don't remember seeing it posted here.

Despite Mt. Gox fiasco, Karpeles still has Bitcoin plans

quote:

Mark Karpeles� t-shirt couldn�t be more ironic.

�I don�t always test my code,� it reads, �but when I do, I do it in production.�

The former head of Mt. Gox, once the world�s biggest Bitcoin exchange, saw his company collapse because its code was exploited by hackers.

quote:

He spends his down time taking care of his aging cat Tibanne (the inspiration for the name of his company) and pursuing his passion for baking apple pies.

Some probably couldn't actually do it due to memory constraints
