The bitcoin mining craze continues to be hot. Neither the domestic ban on bitcoin nor JPMorgan Chase's "bitcoin scam theory" can prevent the continued rise in bitcoin prices.

At present, in the field of Bitcoin mining, high-performance graphics cards are used, because graphics cards are more suitable for Bitcoin algorithms than CPUs. The equipment that can be used for mining also has medium to high performance in the industry.

Perhaps to show off its capabilities, Samsung demonstrated a Bitcoin mining platform created by collecting 40 old Galaxy S5 phones from all over the world at its developer conference in San Francisco, and also developed a complete system for this platform. Samsung said their move was to reuse those electronic devices that are being replaced very quickly.

Samsung did not respond to questions about the performance of the bitcoin mining machine, but pointed out in a leaflet that eight S5 phones could outperform the average desktop mining machine currently on the market.

Samsung S5 is a smartphone in Samsung Galaxy S series, equipped with 5.1-inch 1080p Super AMOLED screen, 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB RAM, 2.1MP front camera + 16MP rear camera, support 4K video recording, and add real-time HDR mode. The body has a built-in heart rate sensor, a 2800mAh removable battery, supports USB 3.0 and fingerprint recognition, supports infrared remote control, supports IP67, NFC, dust and water resistance.
