Recently, a fascinating project has emerged in the market—Scash. It aims to address a long-standing issue: Bitcoin mining being monopolized by mining pools and large-scale mining farms, leaving ordinary people with no opportunity to participate.
The core logic of this project is quite straightforward. It adopts a 100% proof-of-work mechanism, meaning there is no pre-mining or prioritized allocation through funding rounds; everything relies on real computational power competition. Moreover, the code is open source, community-driven, with no single company or team able to unilaterally control the direction.
What’s most appealing is that— it claims that anyone can participate in mining using a home computer. No need to set up a mining farm or buy specialized mining hardware, lowering the participation barrier for ordinary users. In the context of increasing centralization in Bitcoin mining today, this return to the "everyone can mine" ideal is indeed likely to resonate.
Of course, whether this can truly change the mining landscape remains to be seen. But from a Web3 spirit, this kind of attempt is worth paying attention to.
