Microsoft interested in mining cryptocurrency
All the tech giants and major financial claim that they are against cryptocurrency but you have to see their actions not pay attention to what they are saying.
World is moving towards digital currency in true sense and crypto might turn out to be gateway for that. We all know that Bitcoin is the king of crypto but its minging is very costly all around the world with the help of ASIC chips. Its not getting any cheaper that's why many renowned coins are shifting towards Proof of Stake model with no physical mining hardware involved.
Microsoft also wants to mine crypto but he wants to do by leveraging human body. Yes, you read it right by monitoring internal movements of human body as proof of work.
This can both be good and bad. They are planning to use wide range of sensors to monitor these movements and I am already concerned about current privacy issues. We have to see how it goes and I know large sum of people will agree to without knowing about consequences.
