The 16C has all the necessary instructions, and a 64-bit word size. I suspect it wouldn't be too hard to implement SHA256 on that machine, although Bitcoin mining, in the available time and memory, would be a bit of a stretch.

Yeah, you definitely aren't going to do any practical Bitcoin mining on any of them, but technically you could do it for purely academic reasons.
