So is it possible for Nvidia to covertly launch and promote an altcoin designed so it's more profitable to mine it on Nvidia GPUs?

- floatboth 9y agoOf course it's possible. (In fact, you can mine Ethereum on Nvidia and it's not too bad. GTX 1070 has the same performance as RX 480/580. The 1070 is more expensive but it also consumes less power. So you can achieve the same profit, just with a bit more time.) But that wouldn't make any sense for Nvidia. They're enjoying their dominance over the gaming market. They have a lot of fanboy^Wmindshare and now even gamers who wanted an RX 580 can't even buy it because of miners.
