Fruit fly brains are mining Bitcoin now: HashFly connects real neural skeletons to SHA-256 These fruit fly brains are seriously getting wrecked by humans. A few days ago, they were playing *Doom* and analyzing BTC candlestick charts, and now even FutureBit, the maker of home Bitcoin mining rigs, has joined the game. They’ve launched an experiment called HashFly: letting fruit fly neural networks mine Bitcoin. Checked it out—HashFly uses the real reconstructed neural skeleton from MaleCNS v1.0, with 2,914 neural traces selected for the demo: R1–R6 photoreceptors are responsible for "reading" the block header, signals pass through the optic lobe and central nervous system, and when the computer calculates a double-SHA256 hash below the set target, two PPL101 neurons light up. The hash calculation itself is legit, but the target difficulty is set super low, so essentially it’s just a fruit fly brain visualization + software-based SHA-256 mining rig. https://(x.com)/FutureBit/status/2099241052997570816/video/1
