Mining cryptocurrency on SSD and HDD

The American programmer who invented the BitTorrent cryptocurrency proposed a new algorithm for the Chia digital currency. Unlike classical mining using video cards, mining is proposed to be done using information storage devices.

 

How to get cryptocurrency using SSD and HDD

 

The "space and time" model is not new in physics. Only no one thought of using technology for the benefit of consumers. But there was a daredevil who decided to wreak havoc on the information storage market.

The essence of mining the Chia cryptocurrency is the redistribution of information flows and its rapid exchange between devices. There is no need for complex mathematical calculations performed by a graphics accelerator. The operation is simplified as much as possible.

 

But you need to have a lot of free space on your computer. And it's not about a couple of terabytes. And at least about ten TB. All solid state drives with a capacity of 4-18 TB fell under the distribution. The excitement has already peaked, as buyers are already interested in large-capacity HDDs.

 

What are the prospects for the extraction of cryptocurrency SSD and HDD

 

There are several development options for the new mining method. And everything directly depends on the price of the main currency. Bitcoin... After all, all capital turns around just one cryptocurrency. There will be an increase or no decline (at least), it will be possible to earn money on Chia. And not only at Chia. In just a couple of months, we will see new cryptocurrencies mined using this technology.

But ordinary PC users cannot be envied. At first they were shielded from gaming graphics cards. Now there is a shortage of ROM. Moreover, both SSD and HDD. I would like to believe that the Chia cryptocurrency mining technology will drown faster, since solid-state drives have a very limited write resource for cells. Time will tell. In the meantime, it is better to hurry to the store and quickly buy SSD drives for the next 2-3 years to come.
