      Crypto mining on GPUs is pretty much dead. According to the “What to mine” charts a 4090 can only make about $1/day on the best shitcoin available to mine on GPUs. Factoring in the cost of those cards, it’s like 20 years to break even on that.

      I think the big deal with GPUs now is AI processing. AI is burning down the rainforest now with megawatt hunger instead of crypto.

        Give it long enough; and some Crypto bro will figure out a way to pool GPU resources and on-sell the capacity via a marketplace and voila; we could have the capacity to burn down the Amazon in under a week!
