Syke: /* Criticism */

A commercial service that operates essentially as a private pool. The service supports connections only from the operator's proprietary Windows client which incorporates the kernel from the [[poclbm]] miner<ref>[http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=1334.msg50615#msg50615 python OpenCL bitcoin miner]</ref>.

Compensation is calculated on a fixed "Work Unit" method.

==Criticism==

The service had been first operating without disclosing any relationship to Bitcoin. One of the first inquiries into the organization on February 13, 2011, yielded a response that revealed only that Compute 4 Cash was part of a distributed computing project for the financial sector<ref>[http://www.geeks3d.com/20110212/compute4cash-use-your-gpu-to-make-money-with-opencl/ Compute4Cash: Use your GPU to Make Money with OpenCL]</ref>.

The compensation received by the users has been calculated to be significantly less than that enjoyed by those [[Pooled mining|mining]] using one of the public [[:Category:Pool Operators|pool operators]].

As of Mar 29, 2011, the Compute4Cash payout is $0.089/WU. A Radeon 5870 is estimated to compute 1.150 WU/hr, for an estimated payout of $2.46/day. The expected generation output, at 313000 Khps, given current difficulty of 68978.89245792 , is 4.56406694721 BTC per day. At the current market rate of $.78/bitcoin, the value of the daily output is actually worth $3.56/day, which is a whopping 45% more than Compute4Cash pays out.
