Bitcoin Mining on the Commodore 64?

Can we strike it rich using “Bitcoin Miner 64” by YTM/Elysium on the Commodore 64? We’ll even pull out the SuperCPU 20MHz 65816 processor upgrade to see if it helps. Additionally we’ll set up a serial link from the C64 to a Windows 10 laptop to transfer a block to solve.
