I’ve used this old ThinkPad for years. It’s slow now. But when I set HashHenge’s browser miner running... I swear it felt like the machine relaxed It hummed. Not loud. Just steady. For the first time, it felt like I gave it work it respected.
Like I finally said, you don’t have to open 34 tabs today. Just mine And it nodded.
Is anyone else weirdly emotional about their miner?
I mine on my work laptop during meetings. It’s the only part of the meeting that feels productive. The rest is corporate noise. But the mining tab? Quiet work, real reward.
That’s the word — quiet work. We don’t get enough of that anymore.
I’m definitely giving my old Chromebook a new life thanks to Henge. Even if it’s slow, it feels efficient. It’s strange, how crypto made me re-value obsolete hardware.
I thought I was crazy until I read this. I’ve got a 2017 MacBook Air that I use only for Henge mining now. It’s like its final act. A noble retirement. I clean the fan more often than I ever used to. I talk to it. I think I’m imprinting on it like a duck.
