    Valve Computer[^]:

    A modern 8 bit design, built using 1950s thermionic valves that glow and heat the entire room.

    Feel the burn of power!

    Why bother with baseboard heaters? They can't calculate the Fibonacci sequence

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        Here's an idea... Say you did do exactly that... you mined a coin in a very novel way. Since they are uniquely identifiable, you'd in a way be creating a kind of crypto-art. That is, your coins may actually be worth more kinda like real coin misprints and such can command more than face value. "Yes, but these coins were mined with an array of valves." Proof of authenticity is hairy, but still.
