I'd think pegging CPU/GPU at 99% would be even more of a turn off than banner ads. Especially on mobile where it'd drain your battery.
Interesting thought though. I wonder if Windows or MacOS had some hidden process that did bitcoin mining at ~5% CPU, how much that would be worth worldwide.
- daxfohl 9y agoOkay, Bill Gates alone is worth more than twice all the bitcoin ever mined. Apple is worth almost 20x that. So, per risk/reward, probably not a great strategy for either company. https://howmuch.net/articles/worlds-money-in-perspective https://howmuch.net/articles/worlds-money-in-perspective.
- haimez 9y agoPlease adjust your equations for time.
- adventured 9y agoAdjusting to the Gates or Apple timeline doesn't get you anywhere. Bitcoin won't exist in 30 years.
- someguydave 9y agoWhy not? It has defied such predictions for several years now.
- daxfohl 9y agoMeaning? MSFT and AAPL have proved enduring returns over decades, and ... is a flash in the pan? So adjusting over time means what?
- urethrafranklin 9y agoLOL, buttcoin is deflationary.
