Still think it's worth firing up today? I figured after this much time it's pretty much as powerful as a lottery miner if not less. Might mess with it as a weekend project and see what hashrate I get tho.
You absolutely can. You can still make USB lottery miners today. There's ESP32 dev boards in a USB stick form factor. Support for them will be added to NerdMiner sooner or later... 👀
There's no reason you can't write software to do this on Android today, although depending on how much compute power you allocated to the lottery miner, battery life would obviously be an issue.
Can already run a full node and relay from an Android phone, but the node will burn through your flash storage.
New version of Amethyst just dropped 15 mins ago. Just updated.
Studies show knives with with torches make you a better guesser... you never have to take a stab in the dark.

Remember these?
USB ASIC from 2014.
I think it was you and a few others on Nostr who recommended them to begin with.
Will keep you all updated when I got shit setup 👌
Tech support for all routers is terrible. I just don't bother and fix shit for myself.
I have heard that new firmware updates can cause issues so I'll just watch for bug reports before any upgrades.
For real. Shit is cheap in the UK esp on the DNMs.
At least Pfizer made billions and got immunity from the side effects tho that's what really matters... ah big pharma does it again.
A lot of people did man, and the psyop was very strong. Luckily it also woke a lot of people up too, sounds like you are one of them, so you came out on top. Many people who bought into that shit still defend the government.
Just ordered the dev board with a case included since I don't have a 3D printer. Looking forward to loading it up and having some fun with it. It's cool watching the pool stats for low difficulty miners with NerdMiner at the top.
Way way!
It is a just for fun project, the odds of mining a block are tiny, is a lottery miner.
If it interests you though you can make a NerdMiner with an ESP32 S3 dev board for about half the price of a Jade (although the hashrate is slightly lower, 50KH/s vs 80KH/s, but neither is likely to actually mine blocks and the NerdMiner has far more customisation, better UX, active open source community, etc.)
Just buy a Jade and flash the miner firmware through this page on Chrome!
You can also use an ESP32 S3 Display board to make a NerdMiner which is a cool little open source project dedicated to being a lottery miner.
Nahhhh very unlikely. They're called "lottery miners" for a reason 😉
Mostly it's just for fun. The odds of actually mining a block are tiny. Even a high end GPU has miniscule odds and the low power CPUs in these boards are much less powerful than even the CPU on your phone.
Ordered an ESP32 S3 Display to make a NerdMiner too 👌
