Mine bitcoins.

48 hours... how much BTC could you mine?
Calculate some space stuff, just like Donald Glover in The Martian :^)

I love how Bitcoin is probably the world's most powerful computer network. All it took was the offer of free imaginary money.

>>52242569
install BOINC, add seti, rosetta and einstein projects, run them for the 48 hours, get attention for the rest of my life fo supporting the science and potentially finding another life form in the space

too bad it produces absolutely nothing of values
all those petaflops are churning away random hashes to bruteforce the next block of the chain, and that's it

Instead of H.265? Enjoy your suboptimal file sizes.

It wouldn't show the gorillion CPUs. It's a bunch of networked computers. Each node is beefy, but not THAT beefy. Any node would just look like a beefy workstation, not a supercomputer.
There are computers from SGI that have >1000 cores running one instance of Linux. If I wanted to show off, I'd use one of them.

All money is imaginary. It's not like paper money has value because of the paper. Hell, even gold is only valuable because people generally agree it is.
moot managed to convince someone to pay good money for an antique Pakistani doorhandle collectors messageboard, ffs.
>>52243281

I'm getting $1.61 from numbers elsewhere.
Mine Bitcoin. It wouldn't make me much money at all, but it's the best thing I could do on such short notice.
>>52243211
>>52243244
>FLOPS
Bitcoin mining is 100% integer. FLOPS is a VERY poor way of estimating how much bitcoin you could mine.
>>52243362
>all the supercomputers in the TOP500 wouldn't even come close to this
Yeah
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-network-out-muscles-top-500-supercomputers/
>>52243424
Technically you are correct, but government backed currencies have a powerful entity and a global trading system saying that they are worth something, whereas Bitcoin (when it was young) had nothing. It's pretty cool that it grew into a global community that says it has worth.
>>52243459
That's nonsense. Bitcoin uses ASICs. The network is vastly faster than the Top500 supercomputers AT MINING BITCOIN, but is literally useless for anything else.
Run folding@home and SETI the entire time.

Use software mesa rendering to play metro.

>bitcoin is entirely integer compute
If it were flops based then nvidia cards wouldnt suck shit at mining.
Play video games.
Browse Facebook and twitter
>>52243436
At least on GPUs, integer multiplications and shifts (used in ECDSA factoring) are only twice as slow as floating point.
>>52242569
I'd install Gentoo.
>It already runs on Linux
Doesn't mean it runs Gentoo.
Calculate primes.
check my mail.
Play DOOM
>>52242569
Run evolutionary/genetic algorithms to create ELF executables. A computer programming itself would be pretty cool.
Also the world's most overkill seedbox.
Is 5 petaflops enough to learn to love me?
>>52242569
Install Windows HPC 2008, play games on it. Install Quake 3 and do benchmark
Mine other cyber-currency to but BTC.

Best not car commercial anime ever
See how far I get with a zip bomb.
Solve chess.
Crack the gw71 hashes. When it's done install gentoo
Run one thousand parallel copies of Crysis in max
Yeah but if it doesn't run gentoo then it's not running to its full capacity, anon

can't tell you that ; ^ )

It runs a minimalistic LFS... Gentoo isn't better.
>>52243290
Fuck that. I'd continue all of the Civ games I've abandoned over the years due to long turn times.
shit post on /pol/, troll on /x/, fap to queens blade on some chinese web site that streams anime and ask a few dumb questions on /g/ like can i run h games on linux without a windows emulation box?!?!

I will full fill the storage with 4K porn
crack some passwords with john/hydra

Why would you mine BTC, a coin that has ASICs? You'd be much better off mining a predominantly CPU based coin, such as XMR
>>52249362
All life has intrinsic value, you heathen.
i will play CS:GO on 1337 fps

download a car

Then anarchy breaks out as there will be no police. They go broke transporting that monster and then go millions into debt when they turn it on. This is how to fuck the police.
