      Bitcoin mining hasn’t had anything to do with GPUs since 2014. Ether, since 2022. It’s the AI people you’re looking for.

      I don’t think GPU are used for bitcoin any more? You need ASICs to be able to hope for any return on investment.

        Malware that feature crypto mining is probably still using GPUs, since the person getting the coins is not paying the utility bill.
