💻 This screenshot shows what Bitcoin mining looked like… 15 years ago 🤯


This rare screenshot from 2011 shows BitMinter v1.0 Beta, one of the most popular software at the time for mining Bitcoin.
It was still possible to try mining with a simple Intel Celeron processor, although graphics cards were already starting to take over.
In just a few years, mining went from an activity doable on a personal computer to a global industry built on specialized ASIC machines and immense computing farms. A snapshot that reminds us how different Bitcoin’s early days were from today’s ecosystem.
