How to mine Bitcoins using your TV

[andrzej.srankiewicz]

BlockCDNs, a blockchain-powered CDN trading platform, has announced a new design for a miner that uses your TV set-top box to general digital currency. They call it Idle Flow mining because it takes your excess internet bandwidth and turns it into digital cash.

According to the announcement, the whole system has been designed for ease of use, and there are just 3 simple steps to set-up. The plug-in is currently limited to Android TV set-top boxes but there are plans to expand quickly to other platforms. Now, users can perform mining activities in the home by installing a simple piece of software giving BlockCDN an advantage over other mining systems.

Wow how cool is this, just imagine how much hashing power all that idel bandwidth sitting on your tv digital box has. You could watch tv all day and also watch the cash (bitcoins) roll in, lol

Give me a break this could not work well, I'm far from an expert in this field but i could see anything more than dust coming in and it would probably slow down your tv connection in the mean time.
