GameBoy learned to mine Bitcoin

Blogger stacksmashing successfully repurposed the first Game Boy portable gaming console for Bitcoin mining.

For mining, the Game Boy was equipped with an 8-bit Sharp LR35902 processor with a clock frequency of 4.18 MHz and a performance of about 0.8 H/s. For comparison, ASIC hashrate is typically up to 100 H/s. 

At the current rate, Game Boy mining can generate about $ 2 over 100 years.
