Save 60% on this desktop Bitcoin miner that’s smaller than a deck of cards - Mashable

Mashable reports a compact desktop Bitcoin miner—smaller than a deck of cards—is being offered at a 60% discount. Individual consumer-grade units are unlikely to materially change Bitcoin’s total hashrate given their low efficiency versus industrial ASICs, but steep discounts could spur hobbyist adoption and modestly increase the number of distributed small-scale miners. The main implication is a slight boost to retail demand and potential incremental decentralization of mining, with negligible impact on overall network security.
