HASHFLY: A FRUIT FLY BRAIN IS BEING TESTED FOR BTC MINING
FutureBit has unveiled HashFly, an experiment that simulates a fruit fly brain to perform SHA-256, the core algorithm used by Bitcoin mining. The model currently uses 2,914 neural traces from MaleCNS v1.0 and reaches only around 200 kH/s on a conventional computer.
My take: the interesting part is not simply that a “fruit fly brain” can mine BTC, but that biological research could point toward a completely different path to energy efficiency than ASICs. FutureBit estimates that if the model could someday run on real biological neurons, theoretical efficiency could reach around 1 W/TH, roughly 10 times more efficient than today’s leading 3 nm ASICs. But this remains a hypothesis because it assumes all neurons can continuously contribute to computation.
The gap today is still enormous: HashFly runs at about 200 kH/s, while FutureBit’s Apollo III reaches up to 18 TH/s. So I would not treat this as a change to Bitcoin mining yet. I’ll view HashFly as long-term research and watch whether the model expands to the full neuron dataset or produces measurable real-world efficiency gains.
Do you think BTC mining will remain dominated by ASICs, or could biology eventually open a completely different path? If this logic makes sense, drop a follow for more market breakdowns.
