Tactile feedback? Knobs? What do you think this is, the 1950s? No no. Your next stove should have a touchscreen, maybe not even a screen at all - control everything via your phone using a cloud based platform that connects to your stove./s

OK, but where does the blockchain and Stovecoin mining fit in? I gotta make money from cooking on it somehow!

>> I gotta make money from cooking on it somehow!

This may be old-fashioned, but have you considered using the stove to cook food and then selling the food? If we need to get technology involved, you could accept payments via square. Hell, you could probably even accept payment via blockchain.

But then again, how will the poor stove manufacturer continue to capture monetary value from your purchase? I just bought some delicious tamales from a coworkers mom, and I doubt she shared any of those ill-gotten gains with Samsung. Clearly this is a sector in need of disruption StoveCoin is sounding better and better. Plus, all the waste heat from mining can make kitchens as hot as operating a gas stove, which is what induction stoves are missing. Let me know when the ICO is happening!

This is obviously how the stove generates the heat. The CPU is doing bitcoin mining for Samsung. Each plate has it's own set of CPU's depending on size.

For Samsung - not for you. Brilliant!

Your next stove mines bitcoin on recycled Pentium 4s that were overclocked to 5GHz.

Control via phone will actuallly be the best.

I could buy a bunch of expensive hifi qualitu knobs and potentiometers and build my own panel to control the stove.

And then your toddler throws your phone in the toilet while you're making Christmas dinner, and you can't turn the thing off.

Haha. Exactly! Or just use Alexa. „If you don‘t subscribe to Amazon Music now, I‘ll burn your food!“.

Alexa. Turn lights on.

: Ok, burning house down.

More like "we have detected that you try to cook meat, so the stove wont start"
