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
I enjoyed this video so much! Keep them coming!
Ahhh yes , the banker
0.8 hash/sec is not that bad considering it's a 4Mhz 8-bit CPU (most SHA-256 internal operations are 32 bits so even simple stuff such as xoring two integers probably require some extra work)
Bruder, has anybody dir jemals gesagt, that dein Akzent so richtig denglisch sounds?
9 monts later sir did you wonn the lorerryy
Even with a mining pool your GB is never going to earn so much as a single satoshi, no matter how long you let it run. There is a practical limit to how low your hashrate can be.
And here I was like. "Why does that protocol sound familiar" until you said it's basically SPI.
You could hypothetically drive a second display via link cable, then….
Let me guess L, running the miner on the pico itself would be faster right :D?
Well.. time is relative…
Buut..
This is possible with a PSP?
Its 6.25 BTC mate, since 2020 Halving 🙂
12,5 BITCOIN!? SO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY THIS IS TODAY? YOU ARE RICH!!!
This Project is sooo stupid…
I love it! 😂
and somehow, by pure god forbid statistical luck you managed to mine a block and become the luckiest man in existence, since the big-bang started

INVESTING IN CRYPTO NOW IS VERY COOL EXPECIALLY WITH THE CURRENT RISE IN THE MARKET NOW.

You selling these?
I subscribed because of this video
The nice part is, you don't even need to implement pretty much anything on the GB, since it is never expected to find an answer, just put in the animation + counting up and you are done.
GameBoy Money© XD
Cryptocurrency is bullshit with nothing backing it, but this is beautiful
Great video! Albeit, investing in the forex market as a first timer may occasion some hardships and business failures. Mrs.Flora Lopez, a verified broker helps in managing business risks. My recent investment with her got me double my investment capital…
Wow! nobody told me there's a gaming bitcoin……
rip gameboy
"original, unmodified", original gameboy haven't got light screen
Who agrees that Nintendo should make another gameboy like portable video game device. Just the right size to fit in a hand, classic games, and new games!
Sell a new 3ds software with this purpose
Why are you mixing c int types and stdint types?

Serial is no faster than a 2400 baud modem.
Allen Musk! 🙂
Now lets try out with Atari console plz hahahhahaa
You never gonna get a simple bit coin with this even if you spend 10 life time on it hahaha but thats cool 💯
German accent??
one time i had very powerful hardware for mining bitcoin, but it was sent in for repair and completley forgot that it was, so when i went to go mine bitcoin my pc blue screened right there
You can actually mine bitcoin with a pencil and a piece of paper. If you are really good at math. I mean really really good and fast, flash fast.

bro whaaaaaat lol thats cool tho hahahahaha
Maybe faster to just miner it with the raspberry pi
scratches head bit coins are worth over 30 grand and you got 12 of them?
If you enchant your Gameboy with Efficiency V and Fortune III you'll get way more bitcoin in less time 😎
I'm so shocked with this idea and with the implementation… genius!! my god
Who else didnt understand anything and skipped to the end to see the results
Dose this work on gameboy color
Can you do this on a ti-84 plus ce?
this could fix the whole gpu shortage
