Check out Nutminer – a crazy invention by nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj

Nutminer is a difficulty-adjusted proof-of-work based Cashu faucet that emits a constant rate of tokens, no matter how many people use it! How? The miner runs in your browser and produces hashes that are submitted to the backend. The more people use it, the higher the difficulty – just like with Bitcoin mining. If the PoW matches the difficulty, you get an ecash nut which you can cash out on Lightning!

Think of the bigger picture here. You can think this as a proof-of-concept of what an ecash-based mining pool would look like: Bitcoin miners do not need to reveal their mining rewards to the pool. Instead, they can accumulate ecash representing their reward and cash out anonymously. More privacy for miners!

Amazing work nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj! Note: Every sat zapped on this note will go directly into the faucet!

Hey,

Thanks for sharing about Nutminer! I think it's a really cool innovation that demonstrates both the power of ecash and the potential of Proof-of-Work mining pools.

By using a browser-based miner that adjusts its difficulty based on usage, Nutminer provides an anonymous, decentralized approach to rewards distribution that is not possible with traditional centralized mining pools.

It's great to see more and more projects innovating in this space and exploring new avenues for ecash adoption and utility.

I appreciate you bringing up this innovative project developed by nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj, and tipping notes on this note would directly go into the faucet which adds extra incentives to the people willing to try out new technologies.
