In this video, we attempt to mine Bitcoin on the original Game Boy using the Raspberry Pi Pico as a link-cable to USB adapter!

amazing haha, well if you need to pick up the mining pace i have a gameboy megamachine (50 gamebos synth) that could work as a megalith of gameboy bitcoin mining, you would have that tesla in no time hahaha
Great video👍
huh gpu's? F**K GPUS LETS GET OUR GAME BOY YOOOOOOOOOO
just feeding the algorithm here, don't mind me
I'm ready to mine bitcoin with my potato
Are you use it c++
Get loads and enjoy distributed computing
no idea what any of this means but you have a nice voice
Sorry wait a minute I was looking away and heard that someone is biting a nonce now from what I know a nonce is something you don’t want to bite or be around…
Why am I here…. Just to suffer? XD
I see. That's why Tetris are requirement to get a BTC in Tarkov.
Füq smœr Får
I didnt understand nothing but this was cool haha
The level of deadpan delivery used in this video amazes me
this is SOO cute, love it!
Mach bitte dein Nächstes Video einfach in Deutsch es is besser für alle
nice
"Business is boomin'!"
now, imagine 1000 game boy
Nonce lol
W H Y
I get that this was just a sort of daft example for educational purposes, but a game could make use of part of this because you'd be able to create QR codes of the hash results and print them on the GB printer (likewise with a GBA) and 'read' them using the GameBoy camera for a "Barcode Battler" style game. Personally, I think the GBA would be a better example though because the 'wifi' adaptor (which normally pretty much only works with pokemon games) could be used too. Four GBA consoles (root in 'nix) linked by the 'wifi' could allow 4-way parallel processing for blake2b.
where can i buy this gameboy i want bitcoin
Try with an Atari 2600 next
Try with magnavox odyssey next
2:33 do you have a link to a tutorial that shows how to build this thing?
beste leben
wow
I'd love to see if such thing would be possible for a PS vita!
Bitcoin is evil
Lol hope u get the Tesla with it
I wish I wasn't dumb.
Please I want to learn how to mine, can someone teach me how to make money on bitcoin?
🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Now we know how to get rich
when its faster to mine on the rpi pico
Also why didnt you run the interface on the pi
Also why didnt you use random nonce
HODL GameBoy quick. Its price gonna moon 🚀
OK
Ahahahah zingama
Miners enojy :D.
I like how casually you said "it should only take a few quadrillion years"
I learned a lot about bitcoin in this video than traditional bitcoin explainer videos here on YT. lol
hmmm eterhum mining
