New and interested for mining.

[david476]

I just learned about this platform and am curious about it's applications for mining. Would existing OpenCL software work? Have there been tests? Thanks for any Information!

Firstly, welcome

There is actually an example for Riecoin mining:

Obviously with Bitcoin the only viable approach has been to use ASICs for some time now. Not sure about others...

Some OpenCL applications may work with only minor modifications. E.g. see the Vector addition with R via OpenCL example:

However, others may require a lot more work, since the Epiphany architecture is very different to that of a GPU.
