Title: [2016-07-09] ToI: Bitcoin 'miners' face shortage due to reduced supply Post by: polynesia on July 10, 2016, 12:53:37 AM Bitcoin 'miners' face shortage due to reduced supply
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/tech-news/Bitcoin-miners-face-shortage-due-to-reduced-supply/articleshow/53128557.cms Marco Streng is a miner, though he does not carry a pick around his base in south-western Iceland. Instead, he keeps tens of thousands of computers running 24 hours a day in fierce competition with others across the globe to earn bitcoins.
