FRUIT FLY BRAIN MINES BITCOIN AT POTENTIAL 10X ASIC EFFICIENCY
Introducing HashFly by @FutureBit, an experimental Bitcoin miner based on a reconstructed fruit fly brain using 2,914 real neuron connections to run SHA-256.
The team says that if the system could be scaled using actual organic neurons, it could theoretically hash at roughly 1 W/TH, around 10x more energy efficient than leading 3nm silicon ASICs.
For now, it’s an experiment. But biologically inspired Bitcoin mining is officially a thing.

It took over 40 years of brilliant work by computer scientists, cryptographers, and cypherpunks to pave the way for Satoshi Nakamoto to create Bitcoin in 2008 🥰
