Yeh, but no. Chia seems to have a very solid, and the hardware already exists to support it. It will all depend on the people that will build the infrastructure to make it viable. Because it's not a single person that buys a 10TB hard drive on their main rig and think that will be profitable. Nope. It will be people that will build data centers with dedicated machines that will see this throught. On a personal note, I hope it crash and burns. The mining industry has fucked up the pricing for this industry for the consumer side for years. We have everything overpriced and out of stock. This issue deserves ten paragraphs to go step by step on how fucked up we are, but we all know what they'll say, so i'll spare everyone from it.

Too often? Craigslist has about 60 million active users, sees 50 billion page views per month, and gets 80 million adds per month, give or take. There are possibly 200 deaths that can be attributed to the site in any way. Craigslist was founded in 1995, meaning that per year it's less than 9 deaths.... Giving that some perspective; in the United States, per year, approximately 20 people are killed by cows.... Long story short, Cows are VERY literally at least twice as deadly as Craigslist.....and in case my sarcasm isn't translating properly through my words, understand that I fully mean all of this with severe underlying sarcasm. As in you seem deluded by unfounded and inaccurate information, so I'm pointing out things that shouldn't really need being pointed out with a slightly belligerent frame of reference.

It's theoretically possible to "mine" with RTL-SDRs. You just plug a bunch of RTL-SDRs into a Raspberry Pi, connect them to an antenna, then run some software that allows others to pay a bit of crypto in exchange for locking a RTL-SDR to a given frequency for a given time. (The RTL-SDRs default to constantly scanning so that others will have an idea if it would even have a hope of receiving the signal they're interested in, before paying.) All we need is that software...

Floppotron is what you do with old floppy drives, not the disks. I'd recommend saving the disks. Not for the AOL, but for the retro-computer community. Floppy disks of the 90's were far more reliable than the ones you'd pick up in boxes of 10 at Staples towards the end of the medium in the early 2000's. I reformat my old ones and reuse them. Additionally, floppy isn't the best medium for scale operations like this, since your limitation to the number of floppy drives was the number of controllers and how many drives you could have on a controller.

The coins at this separated place are the weight used to pick the random winner.

It's worth it as the electricity is small and you don't need a fast computer that is unless your plotting which you want speed and threads.

It's good, but it's a bust if your just getting into it. All profits for 18 months are positive. Now I wouldn't get into it at $0.02 a coin if your starting.
