When it comes to mining for cryptocurrency, it generally involves the use of computers powered by powerful GPUs which can automate the mining process and run 24/7. However, it seems that Microsoft has invented a new potential way of mining cryptocurrency that could potentially raise some eyebrows due to how it works.
According to a recently-discovered patent, Microsoft has devised a way of mining cryptocurrency that uses your body’s activity. Basically, Microsoft wants to use our daily physical activities as a way to generate computational power, which in turn could be used to mine for cryptocurrency.
Microsoft’s description of the patent reads, “For example, instead of massive computation work required by some conventional cryptocurrency systems, data generated based on the body activity of the user can be a proof-of-work, and therefore, a user can solve the computationally difficult problem unconsciously.”
This can be measured by using a variety of sensors such as fMRI scanners, EEG sensor, NIRS sensors, thermal scanner, heart rate sensors, cameras, and so on. It even suggests that our brainwaves could also harnessed, like the waves created when doing certain things such as performing a task or even viewing advertisements.
Of course, whether or not such a system will be implemented is anyone’s guess, but it is still an interesting approach nonetheless.

Electric Flying Car Races Could Be Something To Look Forward To In The Future
Posted in: Today's ChiliRacing against each other is something that we as humans do. We race using our body, and there are even sports where we race against each other using cars. However, it seems that in the future, it is possible that we could find ourselves watching a sport where we race against each other using electric flying cars.
Now, the concept of racing using flying machines isn’t actually new. In the past, we have seen events like drone racing, but those are controlled by people on the ground using remote controls. In this particular case, the drivers themselves will be inside of the electric flying cars controlling it directly.
Dubbed Airspeeder, this will be the first motorsports program that will be taking advantage of electric flying cars. The company behind the program, Alauda, has managed to secure funding from a couple of Australian venture capital firms, Saltwater Capital and Jelix Ventures. The company had initially planned to test out this program in California’s Mojave Desert in 2020, but due to the pandemic, the company has opted to shift the testing back to Australia.
It will be interesting to see how this works out and if electric flying car racing is something that people would be interested in watching. We imagine it might be a while before it becomes mainstream, but what do you think?
