Full transcript available: https://www.monerooutreach.org/monero-konferenco/kristy-leigh-minehan.php Proof of work forces specialisation, and the choice of algorithms has caused certain chains to favour certain hardware. Join Kristy-Leigh Minehan, CTO of Core Scientific, as she explains the future of embedded mining - where blockchains will be secured by everything from IoT, to drones, to TV’s and toasters, and how this is uniquely suited to Monero’s future of decentralisation and privacy. Miss Minehan has served as an advisor for multiple companies on blockchain technologies and semiconductor engineering, and currently sits as Chief Technology Officer for Core Scientific, a US-based corporation with a focus on infrastructure at scale. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDSKIr5EPiU
