    +## Arc history

    +Rick launched the Hashlight in February 2023, an intake attachment promising to make ASIC mining "more enjoyable and efficient." He spent the entire launch insisting on the product's seriousness — "The Hashlight is not just a gimmick, it's a serious tool for serious miners" — while describing it in terms that required the insistence: "We're not trying to be crude or offensive, we're simply trying to add a little more satisfaction to the world of Bitcoin mining" ([[news/cryptocloaks-launches-new-sex-toy-called-hashlight|Crypto Cloaks Launches New Sex Toy Called Hashlight]]).
