Can someone explain to a smooth brain how the superconductors affect bitcoin mining?
Discussion
Is it part of the hardware?
Less heat for one thing, faster processing, energy efficiency
Less heat at a minimum. But I don't believe in this superconductor hype until it is reproduced a few times globally.
Surprisingly I haven't seen anyone mention mining with the superconductor thing, and on nostr that's pretty remarkable. 😆
Basically, it means miners that create no heat or noise. Lots of energy no longer wasted on cooling or creating heat. Cold microchips hashing at max power. It means a lot more hashpower for the same amount of energy.
Thinkbois still formulating their hot takes 😆
Virtually no heat, more efficient.
Could potentially kill stranded energy though as there would no longer be any loss of energy when transporting
More than that actually. With zero resistance in energy transfer the electricity usage of Bitcoin becomes even more of a moot point.
Imagine the chips that will come of it.
Zero heat needed asic chips will not just be a game changer for speed it will be an entirely different universe for computer computation.
Superconductors make shit transistors... the point of a transistor is to be a switch from a low resistance state to a higher resistance state.
'P_loss = I^2 * R'
For a 'superconductor': 'P_loss = 0'
'P_loss' represents the power loss in watts due to resistance & heat generation. Then, 'I' represents the current flowing through the wire in amperes & 'R' represents the resistance of the wire in ohms. So, "Total energy cost = P_mining + E_cooling".
'Superconductors’ allow electricity to flow with 'zero resistance', eliminating heat production & energy loss during #Bitcoin mining. Nevertheless, they’ve potential to revolutionize the energy-intensive #Bitcoin mining industry & make it more 'environmentally friendly'.
