We are used to hearing a different news every day about cryptocurrency mining. Cryptocurrency mining, which is the subject of today, but will apparently become much more common in our future, is somehow infected in our past.
A developer has managed to turn a laptop manufactured in 1989 into a cryptocurrency mining machine. Of course, how this will make him rich is debatable.
The computer in question is the Toshiba T3200SX powered by a 16MHz Intel 386SX processor. The laptop, which uses MS-DOS as its operating system, may seem like a bit of a shambles now, but when it was first released, it was a remarkable machine with a price tag of $6299.
A developer named Dmitrii Eliuseev conducted such an experiment as part of a mining project and finally succeeded in making the Toshiba T3200SX suitable for cryptocurrency mining. The Toshiba T3200SX, which can achieve only 15 layers of performance per second, will be able to produce 1 dollar worth of Bitcoin in 584 million years, according to Eliuseev’s estimation. Of course, it is very clear that Eliuseev did not expect a fortune from here.
