- another one runs 2 old-ish ASIC miners. They are just barely "profitable" right now, so in a few months they will be obsolete - another one runs 2 old-ish ASIC miners. They are just barely "profitable" right now, so in a few months they will be obsolete
Both devices to some kind of `SHA256`. I have a feeling this is either extremely easy or extremely complicated to do… :) Both devices to some kind of `SHA256`. I have a feeling this is either extremely easy or extremely complicated to do… :)
