Whilst doing hopscotch around Youtube I eventually did a search for either "raptoreum mining" or "cpu mining" and then filtered the results by upload date (if I didn't apply that filter, all I'd get are videos from Red Panda, Voskcoin, Rabid Mining, Bits Be Trippin', and all the other blowhards that likely care more about their YT revenue than they do about mining). The results showed
this vid,
this one, and maybe one other. I was blown away because while I'd certainly seen USB miners like the Moonlander and Gridseed, the ones in these videos looked like they were mining Monero.
Doing a search I found what looks to be the manufacturer or seller of these devices, but both the videos and the
website appear (to my ignorant eyeballs) to originate in India. I'd really like to know what these huge USB sticks are and what people are saying about them. If they're mining Monero and RTM, I'm wondering if they're some kind of CPU on a stick, if that's even possible. Yes, I don't know much about computers but I'm trying hard to learn.
Anyone feel like taking a look at the links above and telling me what you see?
