Well, if the Google infrastructure is so massive that it will dominate the bitcoin generation: 50 coins every 10 minutes.

Not worth the electricity I think. Let's talk real science instead of self-enrichtment for a change.



I'd heard the bitcoin system auto-adjusted for more 'mining'... but is its production rate really constant, no matter how large the arrival of new computing power under a single authority?

(My 'proposal' was a thought experiment; I'd definitely agree that given that much computing-power there are more beneficial and/or profitable things to do... among them running a market-dominating search engine.)
