Do you remember Satoshi's vision for Bitcoin in 2009? Back then, anyone could participate in mining using their home computers.

Now, Scash aims to bring this ideal back to reality. Their approach is quite interesting — to make ordinary PCs competitive again and break the monopoly of professional mining machines. This is not only a technological innovation but also a return to Satoshi's original intention.

From a technical perspective, lowering the mining threshold means more people can participate in maintaining network security, which can inherently strengthen decentralization. Of course, how far this can go depends on market dynamics and technical details. But this idea at least touches on a current pain point in the crypto ecosystem — increasing participant concentration, becoming more like traditional finance, dominated by a few major players.

It's worth watching the subsequent developments.

Sounds good, but I don't know how long it will last.

It sounds quite idealistic, but I've heard this logic too many times... Can it really be implemented? Mining with PC has been tried before, and in the end, wasn't it still crushed by ASICs? Whether Scash can break this curse depends on real ability. Decentralization has been repeatedly countered by centralization, and now they want to start over... Anyway, I am skeptical. Returning to the original intention, every project says this, but in the end? 🤷 The dream of decentralization is very sexy, but the real issue is that everyone wants to be the big fish. The vision is beautiful, but the technical difficulty is truly the hard part...

Good grief, isn't this just trying to make retail investors like us have a way to make a living? I'm convinced. But on the other hand, every time they talk about returning to Satoshi Nakamoto's original intention, who can really do it? PC mining sounds pretty good, but is the electricity cost really worth it? I'm a bit worried. Wait, can Scash really break the monopoly of mining pools? I'm a bit skeptical. Forget it, let's just observe for now. I've seen too many of these kinds of things, most of which end in failure. Oh my god, there's actually something like this. Decentralization finally has a new chance? Feels like they're just hyping concepts again, just like a few years ago with certain coins... This is the right path for Web3. It reminds me why I fell in love with this ecosystem in the first place.

This dream sounds beautiful, but I'm afraid it might just be another slogan show of "returning to the original intention." Honestly, whether it can truly break the monopoly of mining pools depends on whether the technical details and economic incentives can really be balanced. 普通人用家里电脑挖矿？我看悬，电费都要吃掉收益 Regular people mining with home computers? I doubt it, the electricity costs would eat up the profits. 币圈有多少项目打着"去中心化"旗号最后还是被庄家玩烂了 How many projects in the crypto world claim to be "decentralized" but end up being exploited by the big players? 不否认思路不错，但市场最后说了算吧 Not denying the idea is good, but ultimately, the market has the final say. 中本聪的初衷早被时代杀死了，技术改不了人性的贪婪 Satoshi Nakamoto's original intention was long killed by the times; technology can't change human greed. 感觉又要炒一波概念了，看着就行别被割了 Feels like another wave of hype is coming; just watch and don't get caught. 这套理论我听过好几次了，关键还是要看能不能真正落地 I've heard this theory several times; the key is whether it can actually be implemented. Scash？没听过，又一个新项目？可别又是个空气币啊 Scash? Never heard of it, another new project? Hopefully it's not just an air coin. 比特币发展到今天，这种回归论其实有点虚 Bitcoin has developed to this point, and this kind of return theory is actually a bit hollow.
