I saw an introduction to ternary computers on Wikipedia, and I'm curious which areas actually use ternary computers? And why are ternary computers better than binary computers in efficiency?<p>Because the wiki's instructions lack more detailed instructions, does anyone know a more complete introduction?
To my knowledge the only recent project using ternary was the cryptocurrency/token IOTA, but even they dropped it.<p>I don't think there would be any gain from ternary unless the hardware was using trits as well. But all of our computing hardware is binary at the moment.
