Kulo nyaka u-2021 uqhubekile nokumakwa yi- inkinga yengxenye yekhompyutha, okuphinde kwaholela ekutheni kungabi khona ama-consoles esizukulwaneni esilandelayo ezitolo ngoKhisimusi wesibili olandelanayo. Kodwa-ke, ukushoda kwama-microchips bekukhona ezimpilweni zethu iminyaka emine noma emihlanu. Futhi yileyo theme of the izimayini ze-elekthronikhi isivele iphendulele phansi imakethe yamakhadi ezithombe ngo-2017.
Ngokokuqala ngqa, bekuyizinkampani hhayi abantu abenziwe ngama-GPU I-AMD Radeon ne-Nvidia GeForce ukuze azinikele kuye izimayini professional ama-altcoins. Baqala ukugcwalisa izindawo zokugcina izimboni futhi, yize imakethe yathatha umoya ngo-2019, ukumiswa kokukhiqiza okuhlaselwe yilo mkhakha ngesikhathi sodlame kugcine kucekele phansi imakethe. Ngenkathi i-Nvidia ne-AMD benza izinhlelo zokuklama amakhadi awezimayini kuphela (ukuze abavukuzi bangabi nomthelela emakethe yabadlali), abanye abasebenzisi sebeqalile ukubheka. olunye uhlobo lwehadiwe okufanele lunikezelwe ezimayini.
Ukugijima kwegolide manje sekuyi-silicon rush
Manje ku-movie, cishe uyakwazi lokho noma iyiphi idivayisi ye-elekthronikhi ingasetshenziselwa ukumba ama-cryptocurrencies. Kusukela ku-Bitmain ASIC, eklanyelwe ngokukhethekile ukudala ama-hashes we-algorithm ye-Bitcoin futhi isebenze kahle ngokwedlulele, ukuya kuphrosesa yanoma iyiphi into ehlakaniphile onayo ekhaya.
Ezimweni eziningi, izimayini electronic kudle okuningi imali ngendlela ye amandla kunembuyiselo oyitholayo ngendlela yomvuzo ovela ku-blockchain. Kodwa-ke, abahleli bohlelo abaningi bayakujabulela ukudala lezi zinhlobo zezinhlelo zamadivayisi ajwayelekile. Kokubili ukondla ilukuluku lakhe nokumnika a ithuba okungahleliwe. Futhi kungenxa yokuthi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi idivayisi owenza ngayo ubufakazi bokusebenza inamandla kangakanani, kuzohlala kunethuba elincane lokuthi umshini wakho uqedele ukuxazulula ibhulokhi, okungukuthi, ukuqoqa umvuzo. Eqinisweni, eminyakeni embalwa edlule, i-Bitmain ngokwayo yathengisa i-Antrouter R1, okwakuyi-router evamile eneprosesa encane ethile esebenza njenge "lottery ye-Bitcoin".
Ungakwazi yini ukungena kwami noGame Boy?
Okuthile okufana nalokhu kudalwe yi-youtuber Stackmashing, osebenzise okwakudala Game Boy ukuyiguqula ibe a abavukuzi be-bitcoin. Kulokhu, wasebenzisa a flash card ukulayisha isofthiwe kukhonsoli. Futhi okwesibili, uxhume i- Ikhebula Isixhumanisi kuya ku Okusajingijolo Pi Pico, okuletha izici zokuxhuma ku-Game Boy engakaze ibe nazo ekuqaleni. Ngenxa yalokhu okusunguliwe okunelukuluku, ikhonsoli ingaxhuma kwamanye ama-Bitcoin node, ihlole ubuqotho bamabhulokhi amasha futhi ikhiqize ama-hashes amasha ukuze uzame ukuxazulula ibhulokhi elandelayo kuchungechunge lwe-cryptocurrency lukaSatoshi Nakamoto.
Kodwa... Kulungele okuthile?
Uma uzibuza ukuthi kuyasiza yini ukumba imayini ngale hardware, sesivele silindele ukuthi akunjalo. I-console iyakwazi ukucutshungulwa 0,8 amaheshi ngomzuzwana, kuyilapho noma iyiphi i-ASIC yesimanje ingafinyelela ama-Terahashe angu-100 ngesikhathi esifanayo. Ngokusho komdali wevidiyo, kungenzeka ukuthi ngesikhathi i-Game Boy ikwazi ukuxazulula i-block, sekudlule iminyaka embalwa ye-quadrillion.
Nokho, kusenelukuluku lokwazi ukuhlolwa. Uma abantu abaningi ngokwengeziwe bezijabulisa benza amaphrojekthi afana nala, maduze nje sizokwazi ukuthenga amakhadi ezithombe esitolo sethu esithembekile ngaphandle kokugqekeza ibhange emzamweni.
