I find the below screenshot sexy, do you? Do you see blond, brunette and redhead? They say that porn was the catalyst for the World Wide Web, well, I posit that mining is the catalyst for crypto (and Web 3.0) but not for the reasons you think. I mean yes you make money and money is sexy but it pales in comparison to tweaking your rig to squeak those last 10 hashes/second from an already over heating xPU. What's even sexier is that I'm writing this blog on a tweaked out rig, it still does the work for which it was intended at its inception! yay!
For so many years my xPUs sat idle on so many machines. I tried SETI@Home and that was cool but there was no rush to it, it was like dumping cycles into the proverbial bit bucket. Sorry Scientologists. But this, oh my god. I'm using my equipment, my CS degree and years of training to mint money. Something the bankers at JPMC, Citi, Goldman, have wet dreams about or in this case nightmares!. I'm hooked bigtime.
Better than sex? Nah, but way better than watching porn and way better than earning money by working.
Screenshot description: Using a Windows Core I7-7700 CPU with 6 threads to do pool mining of the altcoin Aeon which uses the cryptonight - light algorithm. Generally getting 650+ Hashes/second at the moment, which is good. If all that is of interest to you, message me, I may respond with plenty of information, pedantic and pragmatic.
