The brain is a powerful computer/asic. Would you use it to mine btc for 1 btc a day? I know of a company that develops brain asic chip--and it is not 21 Inc.

LOL... I've only got two brain cells and they're so busy waving to each other that they don't have time to do anything else ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

what? BTC mining with brain, send me mining equipments we can do partnership 50-50% lol
serious question- Is it really possible?

What do you think they were doing in the Matrix? LOL. Serious answer - no.

Yes, it's possible to calculate the hash by hand... painful, but certainly possible. I was talking about the OP's statement regarding brain ASIC chips...

I think that interfacing a chip with the brain - and I don't just mean detecting electrical pulses in general regions of the brain - would yield things far more lucrative than Bitcoin mining ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) If he meant a neural network chip - not seeing much of an advantage there for mining ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Given the title of this thread, I have absolutely zero interest in donating my brain. I am using it quite heavily at the moment. Of course my wife might suggest that have already done so...... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Serious answer - no. *cough* http://gizmodo.com/mining-bitcoin-with-pencil-and-paper-1640353309Now, practically speaking, the odds that you beat an ASIC to a valid solution are very, very...very much against you ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) [/quote] So the first post of this thread is retarded, but that link is very cool, I had not seen that before.

this could be counted as mining with brain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3dqhixzGVoit might be fun to try it one time at least p.s. ops, i didn't see the post above me, sometimes i read only the OP, anyway mine is a video, it's more fun to watch ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

As penalty for posting the exact same thing that's one post above yours, you should - but do all 64 rounds, not just 1 ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Solving by hand is interesting. From one of my classes in college I can still remember doing binary and hex. Makes you really apppriciate modern technology doing that for a while. My favorite miner is here: http://retrominer.com/ It is a NES that can mine. I love the amount of work for something that is just for fun.

I remember about a year ago there was an outfit advertising they were working on a neural-net hardware for bitcoin mining. Had a big ol' website talking about how much faster their chips were running in only a few weeks of learning, with extrapolations for the future and looking for investors to help them expand the operation. I really hope they didn't make much money off that scam, since there's pretty much no way (by design) that a complex hashing function can be reduced to recognizable patterns optimizable by a neural net. Were that the case, basically all encryption from the last 30 years would be useless.

I don't think it would be really effective as btc mining requires a lot of simple calculations. Everybody knows that the human attention span is only 8 seconds or so, therefore, mining for 8 seconds at a time? No thanks ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Brain mining may not be so profitable just using it, and who knows what would be the side effects. But this is definitely a great idea for the governments, imagine that every born child it's inyected in the brain with this.. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) $$$ ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) of course they won't care about side effects.
