A Brit Found the Way to Mine Cryptocurrencies by Breath

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago  (edited)

Max Dovey, a researcher at the Institute of Network Cultures, designed a spirometer which enables the cryptocurrency mining by the human breath.

The spirometer measures the volume of inhaled and exhaled air and hashes this data. Then this information enters the computer, which serves as a rig in a blockchain. One breath allows the computer to perform a thousand computational operations, the number of which depends not only on the number of breaths, but also on the intensity of breathing.

The device allows to mine Montero, though is not able to generate a lot of coins as more than 500 million of such computing operations are performed every second in the world.

Max Dovey explained that the purpose of this invention doesn't lie in making money. He wanted to show people that mining, which leads to a sharp increase in energy consumption in the world, has other ways of development.
