Troll Miner?

Hey guys, So I was just thinking about random stupid things and all of the sudden, I got the idea. What if someone were to implement a bitcoin miner in CC? I very well understand how stupid it would be - it wouldnt generate much/anything, but I just thought it would be kind of funny and was wondering if its possible. I have a server running almost 24/7 except when it has issues, so it wouldnt be using extra power to do it :P/> Anyway, just a funny idea I thought of. If it IS possible, im willing to try it :D/>

possibly if you had ccsockets and emulate their API
would probably give you 1 coin a month

a coin a month? that sounds like a TON to me… maybe im mistaken. is it required to use ccsockets? the http api isnt enough?

protip: its much much much much better to use your GPU, not a lua within java within a CPU
