The cryptocurrency issue, which has managed to be one of the most popular agendas of the last 10 years, not only affects payment systems or money markets, but also touches different areas of our lives whether we like it or not.
Although the issue of cryptocurrency exchanges that have recently sunk one after another in our country has attracted attention, there are different situations that affect us players: the powerful video cards used in cryptocurrency excavation can suddenly fall on the black market.
Here is the YouTube channel 8-bit Show And Tell, which in a sense addressed this issue and searched for the answer to the question of whether bitcoin can be mined with commodore 64. The result is also quite interesting 🙂
According to the calculation, if you enter the bitcoin mining business with a Commodore 64, you have to spend 50 trillion years on 1 bitcoin. In this case, the energy to be spent was calculated as $1.1 quadrillion. It’s a little costly, isn’t it?
The PCGamer team also touchedon some details — for example, that the software used here is coded in C, and that this process could have been 10 times faster if machine language (assembly, if you mean Assembly) had been used. But in any case, they agree that it will take trillions of years; Meanwhile, according to Game Boy, the Commodore 64 performed better.
So be you, if you want me to try this with the old retro devices, think again.
