2016-ART/INSTALLATION. Bitttercoin is an old calculator machine hacked to be used as a miner validating the pending bitcoin transactions in the blockchain. It combines Internet of Things (IoT), media archaeology and economics, and works as the most basic computer, increasing the time needed to produce bitcoins to almost an eternity.
The operations are displayed on the calculator screen and printed afterward, the paper accumulates around the machine making visible the amount of calculation required, as well as, the natural resources expended in the process, often covering the whole room and the calculator itself. Bittercoin talks about the effort, resources and the working time expended that is conditioned by technological devices. In terms of efficiency, we paid a lot of effort to develop the slower miner ever; Bittercoin is able to calculate one hash per ten minutes, consumes 80mA, Watts 220V * 0.08A = 17.6W and 10m of paper per hour.
