Artificial intelligence for mining crypto currency with access point stratum pools over data communication networks

Abstract:

An access point switches between an access point mode and a cryptomining mode. In the access point mode, the access point provides network access for end stations using a BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) while in the access point mode. In surveillance mode, the access point activates a mining co-processor and collectively works on problems coordinated by a stratum mining server. Artificial intelligence can be used to determine which access points to switch modes and for how long.
