This reminds me of huge affair of Bitcoin miner stealing power from Supreme Administrative Court in Poland. They literally had huge bitcoin mining operation in the court building while taxpayers were paying for electricity bill
When everyone else is using ASIC at terahashes/s and you are only doing mega or gigahashs per second the chances of your pool getting the next coin is still low.
Every video card that’s plugged into an AI data center starts losing money the second it’s powered on. It might actually be more profitable to mine crypto.
Profitable is a stretch. Arguably them running with no workload will mean the card lives longer overall compared to mining which has known to cause hardware burnout in GPUs.
Well that’s not exactly true, most GPU cards in mining operations are voltage underclocked and run at a stable rate. It’s much harder on a card to run in a typical desktop scenario with constant voltage changes and power on / off cycles.
That being said, there is a difference between a large scale mining operation that are maximizing profits to jimmy bob wanna be techbro trying to start one up
ASIC mining took over GPU mining in efficiency ages ago and wouldn’t make sense.
Efficiency wouldn’t matter if customers pay for the power while you pocket the Bitcoin.

Simple. Just have the court rule that the court is constitutionally MANDATED to mine Bitcoin on the government’s dime! 😂

I didn’t say profitable. I said more profitable. As in losing less money.

(And honestly, fuck both of those)
