The OP makes a good point though - a robust Bitcoin/Litecoin suite with very little overhead for the underlying OS would make a lot of people very interested in Haiku, very quickly...
Only as quick as the time it'll take to produce OpenCL-enabled drivers for nVidia / AMD GPUs. And then porting the miners themselves. ----Do realize a Haiku version of Minerd does exist. This is a CPU-only miner, but it does work. I am currently mining Dogecoin with my Windows laptop (CPU only) and Dell Windows Athlon II X4 (CPU and GPU) system. I was mining Litecoin with Haiku earlier in 2013, but finally gave up when all my systems (about 4 or 5) going, ran my electric bill up to $130 and Litecoin (at the time) had fallen from $3/ea to $1.50 ea. I mined just a little over 6 Litecoins.
Mining Dogecoin was VERY profitable, several months ago (I was earning 1,500 Doge/day. Now, I get around 500 every 4 days or so.
So, alt-coin mining is not out of the question (for now)... just GPU-based mining, right now.
