Midstate Walk is here, and this Raspberry Pi 5 is showing what CPU-friendly mining can look like! Following the Walk upgrade, @cypherpunkgold shared the MidstateAxe dashboard running on a Raspberry Pi 5. The numbers are impressive: ⚡ 1.27 kH/s — approximately 1,270 attempts/sec 🔋 8.36 W board power 🏆 152 hashes per joule 🌡️ 68.8°C CPU temperature 💻 Just 3 CPU threads at 3 GHz Why does this matter? Midstate's new Walk proof-of-work uses a 256 KiB scratchpad and 262,144 sequential, memory-dependent steps per attempt. The scratchpad fits inside the Pi 5's L2 cache, favouring the low-latency memory access and processing capabilities of ordinary CPU cores. Rather than relying purely on raw parallel hashing power, Walk makes memory latency an important part of mining performance. The result? A small, low-power computer producing meaningful mining throughput at just over 8 watts. This doesn't make Walk ASIC-proof or eliminate GPU competition. But it demonstrates the project's commitment to making proof-of-work accessible on commodity hardware. Post-quantum electronic cash, with mining designed around hardware ordinary people can own. That's the kind of engineering I like seeing from Midstate ($MDS). 🔗 https://t.co/3f9jNpnGg8
