This is the special software to mine Ethereum with a Playstation 5

No, it is not possible to mine cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH) or some other from a modified PlayStation 5 (PS5) video game console. At least, this is how the image itself published in recent days on social networks reveals, according to which special software allowed the extraction of the cryptocurrency from the entertainment center.

In the image you could see the supposed interface of a software installed on a PS5, with which resources of the equipment were dedicated for the mining of ETH, reaching up to 98.76 MH / s of mining power. And many took the information on social networks for certain at the time.

Some Internet users even calculated the performance that the PS5 would have mining ETH: between 200 and 250 dollars, according to some messages on Twitter. Indeed, with that processing power, you could make about $8 a day in profit, according to data from WhatToMine.

The texts that can be seen on the presumed screen of the PS5 are in Chinese, with few details that non-speakers of the language of the Asian country could understand: the mining power, the acronym ETH and the control buttons of the console.

However, in the same interface you can see a QR code, which when scanned, produces another message, also in Chinese

it was all just a joke: there is no such entertainment software

Even with the limitations of Google's automated translator and the potential for a poor translation, the message seems clear: at least as of today, there have been no modifications to mine ETH on a Sony PlayStation 5 console.
