Yeah, I knew it wouldn’t be cost effective since my old rig had an AMD RX580 8gb, but if I could play games and already have a space heater, I may as well mine crypto to heat up the whole house. Nowadays I’m just using Folding@Home during the winter

That makes sense. CPUs and GPUs convert most of their energy use into heat. May as well do something slightly useful with that.
No idea what the numbers are now, but last winter, I think my 3080Ti cost ~$2/day to run and generated ~$1/day in crypto.

If you are doing folding@home you can earn !gridcoin@lemmy.ml and Curecoin at the same time for your folding. Helps w the electric bill :). Gridcoin also rewards !boinc@sopuli.xyz so you can do other medical & space research as well if you get bored of folding.
