European engineers have created a suit for cryptocurrency mining

You can do mining in different ways. For example, buy yourself a pack of more powerful video cards, make a farm, or even two, set everything up and start making a profit. Instead of farms, ASIC miners, specialized devices designed for mining certain types of cryptocurrency, or the latest development of Danish engineers - a special suit for mining, will also work.

                                                                               

Employees of the Dutch company Institute of Human Obsolescence (IoHO) have created a special suit that allows you to mine cryptocurrency.

The device accumulates the heat of the human body using batteries and turns it into electricity, which then creates tokens. You can already buy cryptocurrency with them.

The new suit was tested for 212 hours, 37 people participated. Together they were able to generate 127 thousand milliwatts of electricity, which is equivalent to 16.59 thousand tokens.

The IoHO company was founded in 2015 by artist and researcher Manuel Beltran. She studies how people can benefit from biological products and data generation. According to Beltran, in the future, robots and algorithms may replace human labor.

“I have met many people who are pessimistic about the future. The politicians are out of control and we have no say. We are controlled by algorithms we do not understand. We don't know who to fight or how we feel. Perhaps art can help us understand this and begin the fight,” said the creator of the mining suit.

The developers do not say the prices of the suit, when it will go on sale (or whether it will appear at all) - they also do not say.
