how much processing power do you need to have bitcoins?!?!
CPUs do a mediocre job of it, GPUs are mostly used. So you end up with computers with as many video cards crammed in as possible.

rendering ultra-realistic images of them>??
No. At a high level, it's basically a certain type of math and algorithm that is similar to the calculations that need to be done to render 3d images also let you compare data much more quickly to find bitcoins. It's mostly a coincidence that GPUs are much better at this than a CPU, and a processor specifically designed to be good at bitcoin mining would be much better than that.
Historically this isn't that unique; the cell processor in the PS3 was a variant of an IBM design iirc, but putting together dedicated machines with those processors was less feasible than just buying a shitload of PS3s at the time as the processors weren't really built for consumers, so you ended up with server farms like this: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/ps3-air-force-usaf-playstation,news-5297.html
― ☠ ☃ ☠ (mh), Saturday, 30 March 2013 21:00 (ten years ago) link
In the distant future, we'll obviously have 3d-printed processors on demand that you can customize for any particular task, but in 2013 that still isn't the case.

as president of the international bitcoin mining federation i wasn't going to reveal this yet... but perhaps the time is now. every machine that has been put under the task of mining bitcoins has, in fact, been contributing secretly and without their knowledge to a far grander and more enlightened undertaking: the world's most realistic 3D rendering of the penis organ of homo sapiens. thank you. we expect to unveil the rendering by christmas

A thousand men, say, go searchin' for bitcoins. After six months, one of them's lucky: one out of a thousand. His find represents not only his own labor, but that of nine hundred and ninety-nine others to boot. That's six thousand months, five hundred years, scramblin' over a mountain, goin' hungry and thirsty. An ounce of bitcoins, mister, is worth what it is because of the human labor that went into the findin' and the gettin' of it.

In a way, yeah?
Like, How much is this sack of mushrooms? Well, it's 35 B$. Ok, in my world a sack of mushrooms is fifty bucks, so the exchange for me is 7-10, but in Saudi Arabia, it's $200, so the value of my $35 is worth $200 Saudi dollars.
I didn't really think it all out, sure. Kinda got stuck on that sack of mushrooms, tbh.

Bitcoins aren't a fiat currency, really, it's just that each coin is representative of a unit of work completed. Unfortunately, that work only created a bitcoin.

ha a#z bribed kickstarter into going blockchain with predictable results https://archive.ph/UZv4s
― lag∞n, Monday, 11 March 2024 16:24 (two weeks ago) link
am i being dim or is it nowhere explained in this article what actual specific benefits the blockchain was intended to deliver?
― mark s, Monday, 11 March 2024 16:51 (two weeks ago) link
allowing people to make their own kickstarter inside kickstarter? i mean its crypto it doesnt have any benefits
Users, meanwhile, would be able to create mini platforms of their own around niche interests like anime, bringing in more people and splitting any profits with Kickstarter. This structure, which would echo other initiatives like Farcaster, did not require donors to pay with cryptocurrencies but would entail Kickstarter’s creating an entirely new, open-source version of its existing software that would be built on top of a blockchain that had never been tested by a massive consumer application.
