Samsung Turned Its Smartphone Into a Bitcoin Mining Rig

Samsung has turned 40 phones into a bitcoin mining rig.

In the age of digital technologies, everything develops at the speed of lightning. This is especially seen in devices, where even the coolest and newest device turns into something only a little bit better than a calculator. Most of us have our own device cemetery somewhere in the closet or elsewhere.

Therefore, it is quite a hot-button issue to turn them into something new, in order to make this junk useful again and maybe even profitable. That’s what Samsung did.

This is a fun project

I've only got 10% of the devices in my own home, compared to what they used for their rig. But it's an interesting thought, turning old devices into mining rigs.

I wonder whether it would be profitable to voluntarily accept old devices donated to you (as part of a recycling project), and then transport them to an area where electricity is cheap and setup a "free" mining factory...
