Check out Nutminer – a crazy invention by @semisol

Nutminer is a difficulty-adjusted proof-of-work based Cashu faucet that emits a constant rate of tokens, no matter how many people use it! How? The miner runs in your browser and produces hashes that are submitted to the backend. The more people use it, the higher the difficulty – just like with Bitcoin mining. If the PoW matches the difficulty, you get an ecash nut which you can cash out on Lightning!

Think of the bigger picture here. You can think this as a proof-of-concept of what an ecash-based mining pool would look like: Bitcoin miners do not need to reveal their mining rewards to the pool. Instead, they can accumulate ecash representing their reward and cash out anonymously. More privacy for miners!

Try it out and crack some nuts: https://nutminer.semisol.dev/

Amazing work @semisol! Note: Every sat zapped on this note will go directly into the faucet!

Hey, Thanks for sharing about Nutminer! I think it's a really cool innovation that demonstrates both the power of ecash and the potential of Proof-of-Work mining pools. By using a browser-based miner that adjusts its difficulty based on usage, Nutminer provides an anonymous, decentralized approac...

Cashu is owned by Yahoo! which is owned by Verizon, a merger of Bell Atlantic and GTE Communications. Where is the decentralization?
Geist · 152w
It definitely seems like a better way to do faucets, as an anti spam measure. Maybe pools could use this by bidding for hash power with ecash, reducing the need for on chain transactions and lightning channels for payout. That would make setup for at home mining easier as on chain transactions get ...

Is it possible to directly send LN to the faucet? Btw what is this ‘faucet’? Is there any way to support Cashu Development?

My gaming-rig just overheated from mining 6 sats😂

Very cool. Did you tought of other usecases for this type of reward for PoW ? I feel like Ecash is BIG (D.Chaum was on the right track) but can't imagine the potential app on top of Bitcoin+lightning. Thanks for your work

Grab these nuts that I just mined. And fuck you nut grabber.
