developers just unveiled hashfly - the first bitcoin miner built on a model of organic fly brain neurons

sounds like a joke but the numbers are real

if the tech can actually be scaled using real organic neurons, energy efficiency would land around 1 w per terahash

for context that's roughly 10x better than the best silicon asic miners on 3nm process today

so a biological neural network could theoretically hash more efficiently than the most advanced chip we have right now

it's still a concept, not a shipping miner

but the fact that organic tissue can in theory outperform silicon on mining is worth watching closely

if this ever moves from a lab idea to real hardware, it could change the rules of mining harder than any asic upgrade we've seen in years

worth keeping an eye on where this goes next
